But if he is to bear the blame for the defeats of the first two years of war, he must be allowed the credit for the amazing successes of 1944... Some of these victories must be reckoned as among the most outstanding in the world's military history.The Stalin volume in the "Military Commanders" series, written by career British Army officer Albert Seaton, ranks as one of the most balanced and perceptive studies ever done of the Soviet leader. Seaton wrote his study during the "Detente" phase of the Cold War, when a great deal of Soviet historical material was available and ideological rancor was at a low ebb. Although he had no formal military training, Stalin undertook great responsibilities during the Russian Civil War of 1917-20. In many cases he led armies in areas that were to play a crucial role in World War II. He was particularly effective in the defense of the town of Tsaritsyn on the southern front, which was renamed "Stalingrad" in his honor after the civil war.Drawing on a variety of sources and eyewitness accounts, Seaton shows that Stalin was thoroughly in control of and directly involved in the Soviet military effort during World War II. Although he does not hesitate to show where the less appealing aspects of Stalin's character interfered with his performance, Seaton presents an often-surprising portrait of the achievements of one of the twentieth century's most controversial figures. ![]() Free Download Stalin's Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt's Government by M.

Weeks, "Stalin's Other War: Soviet Grand Strategy, 1939-1941" English | ISBN: 0742521923 | 2003 | 216 pages | EPUB | 575 KB On June 22, 1941, just less than two years after signing the Nazi-Soviet Agreements, Adolf Hitler's German army invaded the Soviet Union. The attack hardly came as a surprise to Josef Stalin; in fact, history has long held that Stalin spent the two intervening years building up his defenses against a Nazi attack. With the gradual declassifying of former Soviet documents, though, historians are learning more and more about Stalin's grand plan during the years 1939-1941. Longtime Soviet expert Albert L. Weeks has studied the newly-released information and come to a different conclusion about the Soviet Union's pre-war buildup_it was not precaution against German invasion at all. In fact, Weeks argues, the evidence now suggests Soviet mobilization was aimed at an eventual invasion of Nazi Germany. The Soviets were quietly biding their time between 1939 and 1941, allowing the capitalist powers to destroy one another, all the while preparing for their own Westward march. Stalin, Weeks shows, wasn't waiting for a Nazi attack_Hitler simply beat him to the punch. ![]() Free Download Norman M.
