Operation Typhoon: Hitler's March on Moscow, October 1941

摘要

For the reviewer, it is an astonishing yet welcome fact that the German-Soviet War of 1941-1945 is still being covered by such recently published books such as Niklas Zetterling and Anders Frankson's The Drive on Moscow, or Jack Radey and Charles Sharp's The Defense of Moscow 1941, while Lev Lopukhovsky has written a major study about the Viaz'ma encirclement battle. There is also the meticulous and profound, but somewhat less accessible, day-to-day four-volume study about the Battle for Smolensk, in which David Glantz has cast new light on this complex operation, which, according to a detailed official study by General G. F. Krivosheev, resulted in the Soviet loss of 759,974 soldiers.
