Beskrivning

The German attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941 represents one of the major caesuras in European history. Its consequences could still be felt fifty years later. Thirty-five historians from nine different countries (including the former Soviet Union) offer a comprehensive survey of the origins, course and long-term impact of this event. The volume is not merely concerned with political and military history, but also with the experiences of ordinary soldiers and civilians.

"This collection provides a wealth of excellent research and insight. Students and specialists in the area will benefit greatly from this collaborative effort." · Canadian Journal of History"... the greatest merit of this collection of essays is that with its help the reader can get acquainted with a great many major themes of this episode in German-Russian relations and, moreover, often see them addressed from different viewpoints and with different complementary conclusions." · H-Net Reviews (H-German)"... an outstanding and most comprehensive work on the history and development of the Russian campaign." · Die Zeit"... a work which marks an important direction in the study of this relationship and the war itself, which has hitherto been the subject of so much mythologising." · John Erickson, University of Edinburgh
