Alan Clark, Barbarossa: The Russian German Conflict, 1941-45 (Cassell Military Paperbacks S.) Review

Overall Rating

A wonderful book that is particularly good at showing how the Germans ran the Russian war day-to-day. Very detailed. I particularly like the bits where Hitler and his senior staff argue about where all the tanks and trains should be sent. I was amazed at how much Hitler 'micro-managed' the war. If you are interested in this subject, this is THE book. Alan Clark was a bit of an admirer of Hitler (for his military genius, not his genocidal tendencies), and this comes across a little bit too strongly sometimes.
