Absolute war Soviet Russia in the Second World War : a modern history

"The conflict on the Eastern Front, fought between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany between 1941-1945, was the greatest, most costly, and most brutal conflict on land in human history. It was arguably the single most decisive factor of the war and shaped the postwar world as we know it. ... Bellamy outlines the lead-up to the war, in which the fragile alliance between the two dictators [Hitler and Stalin] was unceremoniously broken, and examines its far-reaching consequences, arguing that the cost of victory was too much for the Soviet Union to bear."--Page 4 of cover.

  • "En esta obra magistral, fruto de más de una década de investigación, Chris Bellamy proporciona una historia moderna del mayor y más aterrador conflicto bélico de la historia.En el Frente Oriental, entre 1941 y 1945, la mayoría de las fuerzas terrestres y de apoyo aéreo de la Alemania nazi y sus aliados terminaron destruidas por la Unión Soviética en lo que todavía se conoce como la Gran Guerra Patria. Fue posiblemente el hecho más decisivo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y el meticuloso relato de Bellamy narra la historia tanto del lado soviético como del alemán. Fue una contienda que libraron todos los elementos de la sociedad: una guerra absoluta, porque ambos beligerantes pretendían exterminar a su oponente y destruir su existencia política.Gracias al material nuevo y al profundo conocimiento de la estrategia militar y política, así como al talento narrativo de su autor, Guerra absoluta está destinado a convertirse en la historia definitiva del más cruel de los conflicto."@es
  • "The battle on the Eastern Front between 1941 and 1945 was the single most decisive factor of World War II. Now, drawing on sources newly available since the collapse of the Soviet Union, historian and journalist Chris Bellamy presents the first full account of this deadly conflict. He presents a shocking picture of battle in which the traditional restraints of "civilized" warfare were shed. He makes clear how the Soviets quickly rallied against Hitler in a struggle that the Russian people call the Great Patriotic War. He shows how Soviet men--and women--joined in a war whose casualties were later steeply underestimated by their government, and how even the true death toll, at 27 million, does not count the millions of lives that lay shattered. Finally, Bellamy examines the far-reaching consequences--the reverberations of which are still felt today--and argues that the cost of victory was ultimately too much for the Soviet Union to bear.--From publisher description."
