Focusing here on those operations designed and executed on the Eastern Front by Stalin and his military commanders, Dick examines how and why a resurrected Red Army was by 1944 decisively rolling back a Wehrmacht now in full retreat. As in the first volume, he places his analysis within the context of the combatants' military thought and leadership, battlefield experiences, and logistical realities."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Eastern Front. 650 0 $a Operational art (Military science) $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Military doctrine $z Soviet Union $x History. 830 0 $a Modern war studies.
