Reviews
"[A] remarkable account of the battle...Highly recommended." -- WWII History Magazine
"A truly gripping account of arguably the most decisive and yet one of the least well known great European battles of World War II -- written with a genuine feel for the individual dimensions of warfare and compassion for the suffering of both the victors and the vanquished." -- Zbigniew Brzezinski, author of Second Chance: Three Presidents and the Crisis of American Superpower
"Andrew Nagorski has written a gripping story of a strangely underappreciated event that profoundly shaped our world. Nagorski's morally acute, forceful, grimly enlightening account, enriched by interviews with surviving participants, is an urgent reminder of the totalitarian nightmare from which we in the blessed West only narrowly escaped." -- Richard Bernstein, former Berlin bureau chief of The New York Times and author of Fragile Glory: A Portrait of France and the French
"With his dogged reporting, Nagorski has delivered a gripping account of warfare at its cruelest and rawest." -- Max Boot, Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and author of War Made New: Technology, Warfare, and the Course of History, 1500 to Today
"...a new and beautifully researched account of what had been a poorly understood part of the war." -- Anne Applebaum, The New York Review of Books
"A landmark in studies of Russia....A fine diplomatic and military history, but its real triumph is in the voices Nagorski collected....Let's pause and listen, as voices -- not conquered territories -- are what matters most." --Constantine Pleshakov, The Washington Post Book World
"Enthralling history of the defense of the Soviet capital.... Nagorski shows [that] Moscow was a turning point: At long last the fearsome blitzkrieg had been forced to a standstill, shattering the myth of Nazi invincibility." -- Ned Crabb, The Wall Street Journal
