Hitler vs. Stalin: The Eastern Front, 1941-1945

Hitler vs. Stalin: The Eastern Front, 1941-1945

by JohnMosier (Author)

Synopsis

This book argues strongly that the war in the East was Hitler's to lose, that Stalin was in grave jeopardy from the outset of the war, due in large part to his sadistic and vicious behavior throughout the 1930s, which all but destroyed the Red Army and Russian industry, and that the conventional wisdom about the brave Soviet soldiers rescuing the motherland in the Great Patriotic War is nonsense. Stalin's horrendous troop losses left him on the edge of surrender until the Allies saved him.

Media Reviews
Deathride is a dramatic departure from the conventional wisdom and is itself a dramatic chronicle of the most brutal theater in the most brutal war in one of history's most brutal centuries. . . . This is a clear-eyed, compelling description of a battle that has been described many times, but seldom with such an ironic eye.
-David M. Shribman, The Boston Globe
Mr. Mosier [is] one of the more entertainingly contrarian military historians writing today. . . . an important and groundbreaking book about the Eastern front.
-Joseph C. Goulden, The Washington Times
