Cumins' book is a notable success. While not adding new information to the Barbarossa story he succeeds admirably in condensing the complexity of the operation into a manageable and useful narrative at both the strategic and operational levels of engagement. For the aspiring historian and casual military enthusiast, this is a highly recommended book as a starting point from which to branch into more detailed accounts; made more so by the fact that it is presented in a lucid and engaging style. * RCAF Journal * Cumins has expertly guided us through the fighting. The author as well as the publisher, Helion & Company, are to be congratulated on publishing this title, which does much to enhance our knowledge of the fighting on the all-decisive theatre of the Second World War: the Eastern Front. . * Journal of Slavic Military Studies *

Author Information

Keith Cumins was born in 1950, in the Rossendale Valley in Lancashire, England. As a chemistry graduate from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, he spent most of his career working as a scientist, and latterly a manager, in the UK's water industry. During this time he wrote a number of short stories and a novel. He has also edited translated Russian memoirs and his father's semi-autobiographical novel, which was set in the period 1925 to 1944. After retiring in 2002, Keith was able to develop his life-long interest in the history of the first half of the twentieth century. A dedication to studying military history culminated in the completion of this major new single-volume account of the land battles of the Soviet-German conflict of 1941 to 1945. Keith lives with his wife of 37 years in East Kilbride in Scotland, and has a son who is also a writer.
