David M. Glantz,
Jonathan M. House
University Press of Kansas
, 2004
Kursk ..... finally explained
Col. Glantz and Mr. House have finally defined the Battle of Kursk in a thoughtful, engaging and methodical approach. More accessible than George Nipe's very good work on Kursk, this is probably the best book on the definitive battle of the Russian Front. A serious, ...
Colossus Reborn: The Red Army At War, 1941-1943 (Modern War Studies)
David M. Glantz
University of Kansas Press
, 2005
Nearly Perfect
Although hundreds of histories of Soviet-German war have been published in the last decade or so, they have for the most part either focused on large-scale operations, told the story from a predominantly German perspective, or, most likely, done both. Another ...
Zhukov's Greatest Defeat: The Red Army's Epic Disaster in Operation Mars, 1942 (Modern War Studies)
David M. Glantz
University Press of Kansas
, 2005
Thank Goodness for David Glantz !
For those who forget the past are condemned to relive it. The supression of knowledge of Operation MARS as military history because of its failure can be dangerous. Failure can be just as instructive as success if not more so. With the addition of this book, we can ...

David M. Glantz
University Press of Kansas
, 1998
A sideways Glantz at Suvorov

The Role of Intelligence in Soviet Military Strategy in World War II
David M. Glantz
Presidio Pr
, 1990
Accurate and thought provoking
That was the first book by David Glantz that I read and it was a real marvel of clarity and professional military analysis of the highest level. Glantz analyzes the role of intelligence gathering ("razvedka") throughout the various phases of the Great Patriotic War ...
The Battle for Leningrad, 1941-1944 (Modern War Studies)
David M. Glantz
University Press of Kansas
, 2002
Highly detailed analysis
As with most of the David Glantz's books this is a highly detailed analysis of the situation Leningrad found itself in throughout the Second World War on the Eastern Front. At times day by day accounts of unit movements and operations will make it a bit difficult to ...
Red Storm over the Balkans: The Failed Soviet Invasion of Romania, Spring 1944 (Modern War Studies)
David M. Glantz
University Press of Kansas
, 2006
Puts It Together Nicely
Glantz was not well-served by his editors here; they chose the provocative title and Glantz throughout maintains this as some sort of 'lost' campaign that 'he found'. As the prior reviewer from Vienna stated, it's not so 'lost'. Targul-Frumos has been the subject of ...

Tempus
, 2003
Concise summary of Barbarossa to the Soviet Winter Offensive
This is a concise, strategic overview of the Barbarossa campaign. Unlike many other works by David Glantz, this is a relatively light tome that can easily be read in 2-3 sittings and is more of a popular work and not a scholarly work. Don't get me wrong, there is a ...
From the Don to the Dnepr: Soviet Offensive Operations, December 1942 - August 1943 (Cass Series on Soviet ...
David M. Glantz
Routledge
, 1991
A balance of detail and readability unsurpassed
Glantz draws extensively, but not exclusively on Soviet sources, and gives detailed strategic and operational overview of the fighting in the Don area after Stalingrad. What I appreciated most was the detail in the perspective of situations facing the Germans and ...
The Military Strategy of the Soviet Union (Soviet Military Theory and Practice)
David M. Glantz
Routledge
, 2001
Armed revolution and civil war gave birth to the Soviet Union, world War II propelled it to global pre-eminence, and the Cld War contributed to the Soviet Union's demise. Given Marxism-Leninism's idological preoccupation with war and threats of war, it is understandable that the spectre of war should play a vital role in the life and fate of the ...

Dale R. Herspring
University Press of Kansas
, 2006
Throughout its existence, the Red Army was viewed as a formidable threat. By the end of the Cold War, however, it had become the weakest link in the Soviet Union's power structure. Always subordinate to the Communist Party, the military in 1991 suddenly found itself answering instead to the president of a democratic state. Dale Herspring closely ...
