Geoffrey Jukes explores the motivations behind the invasion and provides a detailed account of the ensuing campaign, highlighting key battles such as Stalingrad and Kursk. Despite initial German expectations for a swift victory, the fierce Soviet resistance resulted in a staggering loss of 27 million lives and ultimately led to a significant Soviet resurgence as a global superpower.
