From the foreword by acclaimed Eastern Front historian David Glantz: Hitler's Nemesis "fills a major gap in our understanding of the Red Army at war...By adding flesh and sinew to what had formerly seemed a gaunt skeleton, he has placed recognizable faces on that great gray mass of men whom the German Army fought against...Here, laid out in detail for the reader, are the infantry, armor, artillery, and cavalry formations which enabled the Red Army to survive and emerge victorious after four years of struggle."
Walter S. Dunn, Jr., has written other books on World War II, including Kursk and Soviet Blitzkrieg.
?Hitler's Nemesis is a book that military historians of this titanic struggle will want to read and own. Walter S. Dunn has provided Soviet and German military historians with a well written and well-researched book that will serve as a main reference source on the Red Army of World War II for quite some time to come?-The Journal of Slavic Military Studies ?The paucity of serious scholarship in this area has ensured that this titanic conflict has been understood almost completely as a war of German quality versus Soviet quantity. Dunn's book is an important corrective to this persistent interpretation. Dunn provides an organizational history of the Red Army during its great patriotic war. Important for specialists and graduate students.?-Choice ?This book is an outstanding basic reference on the formation, organization, structure, and equipment of the Red Army before and during the Second World War. It is clearly and smoothly written, well-organized, and a pleasure to read. A must-read, and should be standard reference work for anyone interested in the history of the Soviet military.?-The Military & Naval History Forum "Hitler's Nemesis is a book that military historians of this titanic struggle will want to read and own.
