Hitler's Nemesis

Walter S. Dunn, Jr., received an honors degree in history from Durham University, a MA from Wayne State University and a PhD from the University of Wisconsin. He directed various museums from 1956 until he retired in 1989, including the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society. Dunn taught at the University of Wisconsin, the State University of New York College at Buffalo, and Drake University. He has published in the area of 18th-century fur trade, museum administration, and military history.

"The paucity of serious scholarship in this area has ensured that this titanic conflict has been understood almost completely as a war of German quality versus Soviet quantity. Dunn's book is an important corrective to this persistent interpretation. Dunn provides an organizational history of the Red Army during its great patriotic war. Important for specialists and graduate students." - Choice
