Moscow 1941

Rodric Braithwaite's magnificent narrative of 1941 and the Battle of Moscow, and the Russian men and women who fought it, was one of the major history titles of 2006 in both universal acclaim and sales. Based on huge research and scores of interviews, this book offers an unforgettable and richly illustrated narrative of the military action that took place in Moscow during 1941; telling portraits of Stalin and his generals, some apparatchiks, some great commanders. It also traces the stories of individuals, soldiers, politicians and intellectuals, writers and artists and dancers, workers, schoolchildren and peasants.
