| Description: |
The first volume of John Erickson's study of Stalin's war with Germany. It aims to show the inept command structures of the Soviet Union and the humiliation as her armies fell back before the tide turned at Stalingrad. |
| Synopsis: |
In "The Road to Stalingrad" Professor Erickson takes us in detail from the inept command structures and strategic delusions of the pre-invasion Soviet Union, through the humiliations as her armies fell back on all fronts before the Barbarossa onslaught, until the tide turned at last at Stalingrad. Unsparingly he assesses the generals and political leaders, and analyses the confusions and wranglings within both Allied and Axis commands. The climax, the grinding battle for Stalingrad, leaves the Red Army poised for its majestic counter-offensive, Operation "Uranus", discovering it had "caught a tiger by the tail". |
