Recenzii
The historiography of the Nazi-Soviet war has changed radically over time leading to a confusing array of competing narratives on many issues. Capturing this vast war in a single condensed, accessible and even-handed volume has eluded most attempts until relatively recently and Mawdsley's Thunder in the East is without doubt the best. This new edition is brilliantly comprehensive and delightfully rich in German, Russian and English source material. The narrative is engaging, the analysis remarkably perceptive and Mawdsley's conclusions are, as always, well-reasoned. This is the book to own on the Nazi-Soviet war.
On the cutting-edge of recent scholarship, militarily and in other vital respects, this thoroughly-researched and well-written study remains one of the finest and most accessible single-volume studies of the Twentieth Century's most terrible war. A must read for historians and the general reading public.
Thunder in the East is an already classic birds-eye view of the German-Soviet war of 1941-1945. This new edition takes into account the growing literature published in the decade since the original publication. In contrast to most other accounts, Thunder in the East gives equal space to both sides in this conflict. At its core a military history, it benefits greatly from Evan Mawdsley's deep knowledge of the economic and social history of the Soviet Union as well as the diplomatic and political history of this war. Making short work of many popular misconceptions, it asks and answers the big questions about the Nazi-Soviet clash. Nobody interested in the Second World War, in the history of Nazi Germany or of the Soviet Union, can afford to miss this book.
When Evan Mawdsley's Thunder in the East first appeared in 2005, it was a tour de force, the best single-volume history of the German-Soviet war, combining a mastery of the Russian and German sources, equal facility in discussing strategy, operations, and diplomacy, and balanced judgments. In this very welcome second edition, Mawdsley updates his classic work, incorporating the mountain of new literature that has appeared in the last ten years.
If you read one book on this most terrible of all military struggles, it should be Thunder in the East.
Even Mawdsley's account of the Russo-German war became a standard work as soon as it was published. The new edition is a welcome update on a subject which continues to invite debate and controversy. Mawdsley is a sure guide through the new literature of the past decade, securing the volume's enduring reputation.
The best overview of the war balancing both the German and Soviet perspectives.(War in History, of the first edition)
