Reviews

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;
