Against the wishes of Hitler, German forces under Erich von
Manstein were forced to retreat following the failure of the Kursk
offensive of July 1943. The weakened force only had one possible
refuge, behind the wide Dnepr River. The race to the natural
defensive line was on, with the Soviets launching one of their
largest offensives of the war - with over 2 million men on the
move. Expert Eastern Front historian Robert Forczyk describes the
dramatic four-month campaign that saw the Red Army not only succeed
in crossing the Dnepr at multiple points, but also liberate Kiev,
capital of the Ukraine. Revealing new detail about the largest
Soviet airborne operation of the war and the increasingly desperate
delaying tactics employed by Manstein as catastrophic casualties
mounted on both sides, Forczyk charts the course of the battle that
confirmed to many observers that the relentless Soviet advance
westward could not be halted. Berlin would be next.
