This book details the blow-by-blow of one of the greatest turning points of World War II: The Eastern Front. In 1940, Hilter set his sights on the East and the Soviet Union. The battle, which Hitler thought would be swift, came at a cost of 27 million lives. It, however, would eventually lead to Russia becoming one of the world's capitalist superpowers.
