Wow! I completely agree, wodin. It's been 20 years since I've read it, but it was a powerful and moving experience.

Loving it and after the last god knows how many years reading only WW1 and WW2 fiction and Non Fiction it's a refreshing change.

Pretty heavy reading but an excellent book from the Soviet perspective.

Please let me know what you think of it.

I read his Norway 1940 - a paperback printed in 1991. A good book if I recall correctly.

I just finished Collision of Empires: War on the Eastern Front in 1914 and that author didn't paint in a very good light either.
