Description for Red Storm over the Balkans: The Failed Soviet Invasion of Romania, Spring 1944 (Modern War Studies)
Hardcover. Reconstructs an imposing mosaic that reveals the immense scope and ambitious intent of the first Iasi-Kishinev offensive.

Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 238 x 165 x 36. Weight in Grams: 844.

Working from newly available Russian and long-neglected German archives - plus Red Army unit histories ... Read more
