The Second World War on the Eastern Front: Seminar Studies

Autor Lee Baker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iul 2009
Russia's engagement with Germany on the Eastern Front during World War II was ferocious, unprecedented and bloody, costing millions of civilian and military lives. In this challenging new book, Lee Baker distinguishes myth from reality and deflates the idea that this war, while gargantuan in scale, was in essence a war like any other.
