_n_m_ 's review for:
When Titans Clashed: How the Red Army Stopped Hitler
by David M. Glantz
informative
slow-paced
Although there are some points when the authors fall into, what I see as, tropes and unevidenced conclusions (not about military matters, I could never judge that aspect, as I have no expertise on the matter), this book is a valuable insight into the titanic struggle that the Soviet Union undertook, and the enormous costs it paid to protect it's peoples, defend the revolution and extinguish the nazi scourge once and for all.
Although I went into the book with my eyes open to the fact that this is a military history, sometimes I found myself glazing over the details of a operations due to the level of detail; I suppose I expected, similar to Adam Tooze's book, some insight on the economic resources mobilized to effectuate this victory, instead of just the operational and strategical manoeuvres/ doctrine. The fault of expectation eh?
