Review:
"...a compilation of several articles, published at different times, devoted to the position and role of the Soviet Union in WWII and evaluating the effectiveness of both the Red Army and the Soviet military economy. The book demonstrates the importance of the Lend-Lease regulations, which enabled delivery of essential goods to the Red Army, and also evaluates the Red Army's military performance, concluding that the Red Army's losses were far greater than official reports, and much more than German losses on the Eastern Front."--ProtoView
