celebrated Stalingrad Trilogy.
Mary Elizabeth Glantz obtained a PhD in history from Temple
University and is the author of the book FDR and the Soviet Union:
The President’s Battle over Foreign Policy (Kansas).
A revisionist history of the highest order. No serious student of
the history of the Eastern Front during the Battle for Belorussia
can afford to ignore it.""- Michigan War Studies Review;
""This book is a must-read for those interested in the operational
details of Eastern Front battles and understand military history
jargon.""- Slavic Review;
""This book is an especially important contribution to David
Glantz’s many books on the Red Army in World War II. The in-depth
level of analysis of military operations in Belorussia as the Red
Army gathered its strength authoritatively fills [a] gap in our
knowledge.""- Russian Review;
""For a ‘forgotten’ series of offensives, Glantz leaves readers
with few unknowns and an overwhelming number of knowns, making The
Battle for Belorussia one of the most important books of the
year.""- Stone & Stone World War II Books;
Praise for the work of David Glantz:
""A superb historian and a brilliant detective.""- New York Review
of Books;
""Glantz is the world’s top scholar of the Soviet-German War.""-
Journal of Military History;
""Indisputably the West’s foremost expert on the subject.""- The
Atlantic;
""Glantz’s unrivalled command of Soviet sources has produced a body
of work that has fundamentally revised our knowledge of the Eastern
Front in World War II. By providing a comprehensive, accurate
perspective on the war the Soviet Union fought, he has almost
single-handedly corrected a one-sided German focus that distorted
western understanding.""- Slavic Review;
""The appearance of any book by David Glantz is an event of the
first magnitude.""- World War II;
