This turns the long-received Stalinist myths about how the war between Stalin and Hitler was fought on its head. It establishes that Stalin, after a catastrophic start, handed the conduct of operations over to the generals, Zhukov above all. It also explains how very much harsher the war in the east was than anything the British, or still less the Americans, had to go through. A most admirable book that makes an excellent foil to Beevor's bestselling Stalingrad for it puts the titanic struggle in its full strategic context. (Kirkus UK)

In the course of human history there has probably been no more terrible place than Eastern Europe in 1941-45.

Estimates of total Soviet military and civilian deaths in the period now stand at more than 25 million. In Russia's War, Richard Overy recreates the Soviet Union's apocalyptic struggle against Germany both from the point of view of the troops and of the ordinary people.
