Operation BARBAROSSA, the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, was a turning point second only to Pearl Harbor. Russia became an ally overnight but a most difficult, dangerous and demanding one. Stalin desperately needed oil, equipment and modern technology but the only practical route was round the North Cape to the ports of Archangel and Murmansk. The dual enemies of the vulnerable merchantmen were the German naval and air forces and the weather.While no-one questioned that the Russians needed assistance, the author finds evidence that the supplies that did get through the gauntlet, at great cost, were all too often not put to good use.Elsewhere the Allies were having to make do with old and insufficient equipment, such as aircraft. He finds that little mention is made of the impact of British and American weapons and material by Soviet reports. Yet at the same time there is evidence that Allied supplies may have made it possible for the Soviets to occupy central and Eastern Europe and so dominate those countries for half a century of the Cold War.

Until the advent of glasnost began to lift censorship in the Soviet Union in the mid-1980s, it was impossible for Russians in Russia to truthfully depict their own struggle against Nazi Germany. Even before World War II was over, the Soviet propaganda machine began to construct an official story: through enormous sacrifice, the Soviet people had gloriously freed themselves and the world from fascism, raising the hammer and sickle higher than ever on the ruins of Hitler's imperialist dreams. In Stalin, the Russians, and Their War, however, Marius Broekmeyer presents the testimony of Russian participants, eyewitnesses, and historians of World War II to reveal not a heroic struggle, but a war marred by catastrophes, errors, and lies. These testimonies openly discuss subjects omitted from official Soviet propaganda or glossed over in popular Western histories of the Allied victory in WWII--from purges within the Red Army and Soviet use of "punitive brigades" to the deployment of millions of poorly equipped soldiers to the front lines. These are authentic and often shocking first-hand accounts. Such a vivid report on the day-to-day lives of Russian soldiers, officers, and citizens during World War II does not exist anywhere else in English.

The 1941-1945 campaign on the Eastern front was the bloodiest in military history. The staggering number of Soviet casualties, much higher than German losses, continues to be a subject of debate and controversy. Exact figures are still unknown, but estimates range to nearly 30 million. Devoted to the losses among senior officers, this book provides evidence that unlike the masses of the Red Army, senior officers suffered proportionately fewer losses in the conflict than the Germans, but in Stalin they faced an enemy only slightly less deadly than combat. Based primarily on documents and archival material released during Glasnost, it provides biographical entries for officers above the rank of colonel who were killed in combat, died of natural causes, were taken prisoner, "repressed", or demoted in rank during Stalin's reign.

The chilling story of Stalin’s crimes against humanity Between the early 1930s and his death in 1953, Joseph Stalin had more than a million of his own citizens executed. Millions more fell victim to forced labor, deportation, famine, bloody massacres, and detention and interrogation by Stalin's henchmen. Stalin's Genocides is the chilling story of these crimes. The book puts forward the important argument that brutal mass killings under Stalin in the 1930s were indeed acts of genocide and that the Soviet dictator himself was behind them. Norman Naimark, one of our most respected authorities on the Soviet era, challenges the widely held notion that Stalin's crimes do not constitute genocide, which the United Nations defines as the premeditated killing of a group of people because of their race, religion, or inherent national qualities. In this gripping book, Naimark explains how Stalin became a pitiless mass killer. He looks at the most consequential and harrowing episodes of Stalin's systematic destruction of his own populace—the liquidation and repression of the so-called kulaks, the Ukrainian famine, the purge of nationalities, and the Great Terror—and examines them in light of other genocides in history. In addition, Naimark compares Stalin's crimes with those of the most notorious genocidal killer of them all, Adolf Hitler.

In 1972 Pope Paul VI shockingly proclaimed, “Through some crack, the smoke of Satan has entered into the Temple of God.” The Catholic Church has been infiltrated with evil traitors hell bent on its destruction. And KGB agent Rolf Wozack is poised to thrust the final dagger! Stalin’s Priest takes the reader on a spellbinding, page turning, thrill ride with international mystery and intrigue. Russian Premier Joseph Stalin sets out to destroy the church to achieve his utopian communist state. He has priests murdered and destroys churches, but the church continues on in secret. Frustrated and desperate, Stalin hatches a sinister plan to destroy the church from within by sending KGB agents to the seminaries to become undercover priests. Rolf Wozack is one of Stalin’s best agents. Follow his journey from a nightmarish childhood in World War II Poland, where he was orphaned by the Nazi’s then rescued by the Russians, only to be brainwashed by his KGB handlers. Rolf rises quickly through the priesthood and eventually to the Vatican to carry out Stalin’s most important order. Murder! Twenty years earlier in 1917, in Fatima, Portugal, three young shepherd children claim to have been visited by the Virgin Mary. She shares visions of heaven and hell and tells them that Russia will spread evil throughout the world causing great wars and persecution of the church. All this foretold twenty years before Stalin would ever dream it up. Can her warning save the church and the world from Russia’s evil, or will Rolf sacrifice everything and carry out Stalin’s final order?

Third Reich, official Nazi designation for the regime in Germany from January 1933 to May 1945, as the presumed successor of the medieval and early modern Holy Roman Empire of 800 to 1806 (the First Reich) and the German Empire of 1871 to 1918 (the Second Reich). The author was there at the end, every soldier's desire. This account of the operations of his army on the Eastern Front from the summer of 1944 until the surrender of Germany is not as dramatic as his history of Stalingrad. As the author himself said, Stalingrad was 'idiosyncratic.' No one had ever seen the like and, with a bit of luck, no one will ever see the like again. This book relates many stories, but also contains a fair amount of detailed military reporting. If the small-town geography of Poland and Ukraine becomes too tedious, skim it. This book can educate those who do not fully appreciate the sacrifice made by Red Army troops in World War II. Russians of the Soviet period almost always failed in their appeals for understanding by painting themselves as universally courageous, kind, etc., when they weren't painting themselves as poor and pitiable. In truth, they were neither angelic nor universally victimized. You will find the 'courageous and kind...' version here. The author's propaganda on the benevolent fraternity enjoyed by Russians and Poles is nauseating. Even so, I think the general was an honest man; as honest as he could be under the circumstances. Recall that he survived Stalin's great purge of the military in the late 1930s. He may have been just the right age; a fish too small to be noticed at the time. However, the warning that a firing squad could be at the other end of a piddling mistake-or possibly no mistake at all-could not have been missed. The author became a master at criticizing ambiguously. His little shots at Marshal Zhukov are delightfully crafted.

Stalin's reign of terror in the Soviet Union has been called 'the other Holocaust'. During the Stalin years, it is thought that more innocent men, women and children perished than in Hitler's destruction of the European Jews. Many millions died in Stalin's Gulag of torture prisons and forced-labour camps, yet others survived and were freed after his death in 1953. This book is the story of the survivors. Long kept secret by Soviet repression and censorship, it is now told by renowned author and historian Stephen F. Cohen, who came to know many former Gulag inmates during his frequent trips to Moscow over a period of thirty years. Based on first-hand interviews with the victims themselves and on newly available materials, Cohen provides a powerful narrative of the survivors' post-Gulag saga, from their liberation and return to Soviet society, to their long struggle to salvage what remained of their shattered lives and to obtain justice. Spanning more than fifty years, "The Victims Return" combines individual stories with the fierce political conflicts that raged, both in society and in the Kremlin, over the victims of the terror and the people who had victimized them. This compelling book will be essential reading for anyone interested in Russian history.
