"This collection provides a wealth of excellent research and insight. Students and specialists in the area will benefit greatly from this collaborative effort." * Canadian Journal of History "... the greatest merit of this collection of essays is that with its help the reader can get acquainted with a great many major themes of this episode in German-Russian relations and, moreover, often see them addressed from different viewpoints and with different complementary conclusions." * H-Net Reviews (H-German) "... an outstanding and most comprehensive work on the history and development of the Russian campaign." * Die Zeit "... a work which marks an important direction in the study of this relationship and the war itself, which has hitherto been the subject of so much mythologising." * John Erickson, University of Edinburgh
