He has redefined an entire major subject: The Russo-German War of 1941--1945. His exploration of newly available Russian archive records has made him an unrivaled master of Soviet sources. His command of German material is no less comprehensive. Add to this perceptive insight and balanced judgment, and the result is a series of seminal and massive volumes that come as close as possible to 'telling it like it was.'

Its vivid portrayals of fighting in all critical sectors place the famous tank battle in its proper context.

Revised and updated to reflect recent Russian and Western scholarship on the subject, much of it the authors' own work, this new edition maintains the 1995 original's distinction as a crucial volume in the history of World War II and of the Soviet Union and the most informed and compelling perspective on one of the greatest military confrontations of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1941, when Pearl Harbor shattered America's peacetime pretensions, the German blitzkrieg had already blasted the Red Army back to Moscow. Yet, less than four years later, the Soviet hammer-and-sickle flew above the ruins of Berlin, stark symbol of a miraculous comeback that destroyed the Germany Army and put an end to Hitler's imperial designs. In swift and stirring prose, \u003ci\u003eWhen Titans Clashed\u003c\/i\u003e provides the clearest, most complete account of this epic struggle, especially from the Soviet perspective. Drawing on the massive and unprecedented release of Soviet archival documents in recent decades, David Glantz, one of the world's foremost authorities on the Soviet military, and noted military historian Jonathan House expand and elaborate our picture of the Soviet war effort--a picture sharply different from accounts that emphasize Hitler's failed leadership over Soviet strategy and might.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRafts of newly available official directives, orders, and reports reveal the true nature and extraordinary scale of Soviet military operations as they swept across the one thousand miles from Moscow to Berlin, featuring stubborn defenses and monumental offensives and counteroffensives and ultimately costing the two sides combined a staggering twenty million casualties. Placing the war within its wider context, the authors also make use of recent revelations to clarify further the political, economic, and social issues that influenced and reflected what happened on the battlefield. Their work gives us new insight into Stalin's political motivation and Adolf Hitler's role as warlord, as well as a better understanding of the human and economic costs of the war--for both the Soviet Union and Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile incorporating a wealth of new information, \u003ci\u003eWhen Titans Clashed\u003c\/i\u003e remains remarkably compact, a tribute to the authors' determination to make this critical chapter in world history as accessible as it is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51366086574303,"sku":"9780700621217","price":68.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/plOVcCqROZ9780700621217.webp?v=1789080851"},{"product_id":"toward-combined-arms-warfare-a-survey-of-20th-century-tactics-doctrine-and-organization-paperback","title":"Toward Combined Arms Warfare: A Survey of 20th-Century Tactics, Doctrine, and Organization - Paperback","description":"","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51367064371423,"sku":"9781410201591","price":49.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/C0C2Isr01E9781410201591.webp?v=1789102294"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/jonathan-m-house.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
