Front in the Second World War." —H-Net Reviews
"This book represents the most thorough and intensive examination
of the state of the Red Army in 1941 yet to appear. It investigates
every aspect of the Soviet military establishment, command,
deployment, mobilization, reserves, the Soviet soldier himself, and
above all, combat readiness, using Soviet and German archives.

his conclusion incontestable." —John Erickson, author of The Road
to Stalingrad

Suvorov in Icebreaker—that Stalin was secretly planning an
offensive war against Hitler during 1941. With his previous book

established firmly his reputation as the preeminent historian of
the Soviet Army." —Mark von Hagen, author of Soldiers in the
Proletarian Dictatorship
"An outstanding contribution and a must for any student of the
history of the Red Army and the Soviet Union’s role in the Second
World War." —Malcolm Mackintosh, author of Juggernaut: A History of
Soviet Armed Forces
