In this volume Geoffrey Jukes explains what led to Hitler's decision to instigate the invasion of the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa) and offers a concise account of the campaign that followed. The Germans expected to conquer Russia in only four months, but at Stalingrad and then Kursk the Russians fought back. At a human cost of 27 million Soviet lives Hitler was forced into a humiliating retreat and Russia emerged from the war as a super power ready to take on the capitalist world.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1841763918\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1841763918.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:D.
