The battles in Russia played the decisive part in Hitler's defeat. Gigantic; prolonged; and bloody; they contrasted with the general nature of the fighting on other fronts. The Russians fought on their own in "their" theater of war and with an independent strategy. Stalinist Russia was a country radically different from its liberal democratic allies. Hitler and the German high command; for their part; conceived and carried out the Russian campaign as a singular "war of annihilation." This riveting new book is a penetrating; broad-ranging; yet concise overview of this vast conflict. It investigates the Wehrmacht and the Red Army and the command and production systems that organized and sustained them. It considers a range of further themes concerning this most political of wars. Benefiting from a post-Communist; post-Cold War perspective; the book takes advantage of a wealth of new studies and source material that have become available over the last decade. Readers from history buffs to scholars will find something new in this exciting new book.

Never thought to look on ; great savings; same book. If you are a dealer (I have shop on etsy) this is a great book to KNOW CURRENT MARKET VALUE on your vintage and antique pieces ....as the market has changed signifiacantly in the past decade. Some resource books you MUST UPDATE if you want to have your pulse on trending market for listing purposes as I do. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.Used to sell on Ruby Lane which only allow truly AUTHENTIC vintage and antique collectibles or they will shut you down. KOVELS helps determine if something is authentic. If you can't find it in book it probably isn't yet of that catagory. Now on etsy due to working full time and less overhead; footbridgecove1. I have a very very large collection of vintage and antique pieces; all of which I can find in Kovels! I just don't have the time to list them. Feel free to contact me with questions.I have purchased KOVELS books; newsletters and their online access over the years I can give you pros and cons to all.

M-RNot my favorite reference book for clarity and ease of use--the size is awkward to hold and read. I do appreciate the "what's trending" areas realizing that the buying public is fickle and what sold yesterday; may not sell tomorrow.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Always the best!By JoAnnAlways the best of the antique pricing books. I wouldn't get any other. Because of the cost -- I don't get one every year.
