Setting military strategy and operations within a broader context that includes national mobilisation on a staggering scale, the book presents a comprehensive account of the origins and course of the war from the perspective of this key Allied power.
Drawing on the latest archival research and a wealth of eyewitness testimony, Hill portrays the Red Army at war from the perspective of senior leaders and men and women at the front line to reveal how the Red Army triumphed over the forces of Nazi Germany and her allies on the Eastern Front, and why it did so at such great cost.
Industry Reviews
'... Hill's work is a remarkably thorough, clear, and comprehensive account of previously-neglected technical questions of Soviet military development.' David R. Stone, Slavic Review
'In The Red Army and the Second World War, historian Alexander Hill (Univ. of Calgary) has produced an exceedingly lucid treatment of the development and employment of the Red Army before and during the Great Patriotic War. Transformation is the book's unifying narrative thread.' Timothy Heck, Michigan War Studies Review
'The Red Army and the Second World War is meticulously researched, including among its sources an extensive number of Soviet and Russian sources, including diaries, memoirs, interviews, and eyewitness accounts. Hill adroitly includes concise accounts of the war's dozens of operations and battles that, together with his insightful analysis, will make this a valuable single-volume resource for all those seeking to expand their understanding of this still-evolving narrative of this crucial period in military, European, and Russian history.' Mark J. Conversino, H-War
'Alexander Hill's Red Army and the Second World War is both a remarkable scholarly account of the Eastern Front and a valuable addition to our understanding of the Red Army and its evolution as a military machine.' Christopher C. Lovett, The Journal of Military History
