Up to now, Operation Tannenberg, the Nazi assault on Poland, has been overshadowed by the enormous literature on Operation Barbarossa. Rossino's book more than corrects that imbalance with a gripping account that conveys a real feel for those grim times and places. Michael Burleigh, Author Of The Third Reich: A New History; ""Rossino's fine study provides the 'missing link' between the traditional German expansionism of World War I and the 'war of annihilation' against the Soviet union in 1941."" Christopher Browning, Author Of Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 And The Final Solution In Poland; ""An important work for anyone who wants to understand the war and the Wehrmacht's evolving relationship with National Socialism."" Geoffrey P. Megargee, Author Of Inside Hitler's High Command
