Focusing here on those operations designed and executed on the Eastern Front by Stalin and his military commanders, Dick examines how and why a resurrected Red Army was by 1944 decisively rolling back a Wehrmacht now in full retreat. As in the first volume, he places his analysis within the context of the combatants' military thought and leadership, battlefield experiences, and logistical realities."--Provided by publisher UR - https://ezproxy.uttyler.edu/login?url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt1hj9x78 ER -
