1st Edition.
The battle for Moscow was a major turning point in World War 2. How did it happen that the German forces so nearly succeeded, then failed? There is surprisingly little literature in the Western world about this gigantic struggle, and almost none about Field Marshal Fedor von Bock, the individual who aside from Adolf Hitler played the most decisive role in it. Using von Bocks war diary, never published in English, the author offers a fascinating study in command problems, a vivid description of the 1941-42 campaigns in Russia, and a biography of one of Germanys most vaunted military commanders.
