Summary: What a wonderful book!
Review: Yes, what a wonderful book! The true epic of the Second World War on the Eastern Front with vivid descriptions of the battles as well as political and social events that brought them about.
Wrong are those who called this book "a history for Russophiles". This book can only be called pro-Russian if you think of Russia from a Hollywood perspective (i.e. evil empire :-) ). The author constantly uses numerous historical sources from all sides involved in the conflict. Mr. Werth describes all the blunders of Stalin's regime without making it look stupid. But the most important fact is that this book is what the author saw with his own eyes being a British correspondent on the front.
Amazing book that describes truly heroic struggle of one country that saved the world from Nazism and Fashism.
