• Sommario/riassunto: This book, authored by Colonel David M. Glantz, provides a detailed analysis of the development of Soviet military strategy and operational art during the Great Patriotic War from 1941 to 1945. It examines the initial setbacks faced by the Soviet Army during the German invasion, the subsequent evolution of Soviet military tactics, and the eventual triumph over Nazi Germany. The narrative is divided into three key periods of the war, each characterized by shifts in Soviet military doctrine and strategy. The book highlights the critical role of Soviet commanders, the adaptation to new military technologies, and the strategic initiatives that led to victory. It is intended for readers interested in military history, particularly those focusing on Soviet military operations during World War II.
