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.   _______________________________    'Superb. . . stays with you long after you have
finished' Henry Hemming  bestselling author of Our Man in New York    'A chilling account of
war at its worst' Bear Grylls
