Hitler's fatal gamble, Barbarossa was a cataclysmic mistake. By the time Hitler's armies reached the gates of Moscow six months later, any prospect of his realizing his vision of a Thousand Year Reich had vanished. Drawing on hitherto unseen archival material, including previously untranslated German sources, Johnathan Dimbleby puts the bloodbath that was Barbarossa in its proper place in history, from its origins in the First World War to its impact on post-war Europe. Dimbleby covers the military, political, and diplomatic story from all sides. Using diaries and letters, dispatches and orders, this book provides vivid accounts of the men and women who fought on the front lines. Written with authority and humanity, Operation Barbarossa captures the monumental scale of the cataclysm, transforming our understanding of the Second World War and of the twentieth century. -- Adapted from book jacket. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Soviet Union $0 (DLC)sh2008113845 941 $a 1 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020345.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8FC1BDBAFC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b MRQInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
