BARBAROSSA - JONATHAN DIMBLEBY KARTONIERT (TB)

A SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER 'The best single-volume account of the Barbarossa campaign to
date' Andrew Roberts  author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny 'A page-turning descent into
Hell and back . . . this fresh and compelling account of Hitler's failed invasion of the Soviet
Union should be on everyone's reading list for 2021' Dr Amanda Foreman  author of A World on
Fire _______________________________ The largest military operation in history. The turning
point of the Second World War. The most important year of the twentieth century. Operation
Barbarossa  Hitler's invasion of Russia in June 1941  aimed at nothing less than a war of
extermination to annihilate Soviet communism  liquidate the Jews and create Lebensraum for the
German master race. But it led to the destruction of the Third Reich  and was cataclysmic for
Germany with millions of men killed  wounded or registered as missing in action. It was this
colossal mistake -- rather than any action in Western Europe -- that lost Hitler the Second
World War. Drawing on hitherto unseen archival material  including previously untranslated
Russian sources  Jonathan Dimbleby puts Barbarossa in its proper place in history for the first
time. From its origins in the ashes of the First World War to its impact on post-war Europe 
and covering the military  political and diplomatic story from all sides  he paints a full and
vivid picture of this monumental campaign whose full nature and impact has remained unexplored.
Written with authority and humanity  Barbarossa is a masterwork that transforms our
understanding of the Second World War and of the twentieth century.
