The follow-up to the acclaimed "The Road to Stalingrad "tells the
compelling story of the Red Army's epic struggle to drive the Germans
out of Russia and back to Berlin. Using Soviet, German, and Eastern
European primary sources, John Erickson describes fighting and hardship
on an almost unimaginable scale. The detailed narrative covers battles
on all the fronts. The inside information on the Soviet system of war
reveals how, under maximum stress, the Russian army achieved
near-impossible feats in the field and the factories. All the diplomatic
moves and counter-moves, including the all-important conferences at
Tehran and Yalta, also come vividly alive.
