This, the second book in Alexander A. Maslov's planned trilogy
regarding the tragic fate of Red Army general officers who fell
victim to the Second World War, is perhaps the most depressing. In
it Maslov relates the fate of those generals who fell into German
captivity. After relating the grisly circumstances of their ordeal
in German prisoner-of-war camps, Maslov tells the sordid tale of
how an ungrateful state condemned for treason against their
homeland many of those who had served it loyally both in combat and
in German prisoner-of-war camps. By exploiting unprecedented
archival materials, Maslov demonstrates how Stalin and Soviet
security organs condemned and shot many of the returnee-generals,
most on trumped-up charges, in part as scapegoats for the real
crimes committed by Stalin and the Soviet military leadership
during the tragic initial period of the war. Coincidentally, Maslov
once again presents a unique glimpse of the social history of the
pre-war and wartime Red Army general officer corps.
