The largest military operation in history. The turning point of the
Second World War. The most important year of the twentieth century.
Operation
Barbarossa, Hitler's invasion of Russia in June 1941, aimed at nothing
less than a war of extermination to annihilate Soviet communism,
liquidate the Jews and create Lebensraum for the German master race. But
it led to the destruction of the Third Reich, and was cataclysmic for
Germany with millions of men killed, wounded or registered as missing in
action. It was this colossal mistake -- rather than any action in
Western Europe -- that lost Hitler the Second World War.
Drawing
on hitherto unseen archival material, including previously untranslated
Russian sources, Jonathan Dimbleby puts Barbarossa in its proper place
in history for the first time. From its origins in the ashes of the
First World War to its impact on post-war Europe, and covering the
military, political and diplomatic story from all sides, he paints a
full and vivid picture of this monumental campaign whose full nature and
impact has remained unexplored.
Written with authority and humanity, Barbarossa is a masterwork that transforms our understanding of the Second World War and of the twentieth century.
