*International Review Of Social History, Vol. 52 (2007)*
...the mass of biographical and bibliographic material that Parrish
has gathered is of extraordinary utility....it is the most complete
and accurate source yet available on high-ranking military and
police officials. Any researcher on the Soviet army, intelligence
services, or high politics should keep a copy close at hand.
*The Russian Review*
Including all officers above the rank of colonel in his
biographical dictionary, Parrish...relies on recently available
Soviet archives in order to shed some light on the losses suffered
by the Red Army officer corps from 1939 to the death of Stalin in
1953. Some 1000 entries provide basic biographical information for
the officer corps and note the manner of death or other form of
attrition, covering combat losses, political repression, war
captivity, anti-Semitic campaigns, and reduction in rank.
