The Last Six Months: The First Authentic Account of Russia's Final Battles With Hitler's Armies in World War Ii

By General S. M. Shtemenko

Doubleday, 1977, 436 pp.

General of the Army Shtemenko's second book on the official Soviet version of World War II campaigns, this one almost exclusively from the point of view of the General Staff, or Stavka. Some insight is gained into the Russian high command, but no surprises.
