Review This is operational history at its best, meticulously researched and presented for the reader to analyse. * Warfare Magazine *...its conclusion will have a profound impact on future books written about the Eastern Front in World War II. * Bowling Green Daily News *...such a thorough and scrupulous account of these battles is long overdue. By closely examining these early battles, the author shows how the weakened Soviet military leadership studied their early mistakes, regained their balance, and struck back with deadly fury. Though the Soviet nightmare was to last for another four long years, the painful lessons learned on the battlefields in and around Smolensk during the summer of 1941 were the key to the ultimate Soviet victory. * The Russian Review * Review Quote "This is operational history at its best, meticulously researched and presented for the reader to analyze."
