Review: A really good, well researched book - I've been reading "proper" history books about WW2 for sometime now and it's really interesting to read that there were other reasons for the defeat and end to the Nazi regime than the "madness of Hitler". This book is a brilliant example for that. It's well researched and well laid out, but not just facts and figures mixed with names I'd heard of, but wasn't aware of what they did. Those are there of course, but added to with proper background and insight. The authors political knowledge and experience comes to play as he explains the ways in which political ambition, military ambition and plain old jealousy and envy can prove to be just as damaging as lack of equipment and men on the battlefield. Spoiler alert! Hitler was mad at the end, but we knew that anyway! Review: Decent narration but lacking critical parts - Being aware that this book is no 30/40 years old, I decided to read Alan Clark's work on this atrocious conflict that involved two of the most powerful war machines of this century. The book has good reviews and offers a perfect overview to the gigantic subject. The narration is fluid and the chapter division quite helpful. More importantly, the author keeps away from overdescription of unit positions, movements of troops, etc. which can blur the vision sometimes. This is especially true for a campaign like Barbarossa. Its is quite often that military history authors lacking politic and economic knowledge prefers to concentrate on purely militaristic matters. However, I had a really good time reading the book but was quite dissapointed and would say frustrated that the book was very light on: - The Leningrad siege - The battle for Berlin - The role of the luftwaffe and the war in the air Despite the above, there are some really brillant parts such as the Stalingrad chapters, or the addition of recorded dialogues between Hitler and his staff, or personal accounts such as the 2 ou 3 pages long account of the russian sniper. Finally, I recomend the reading of Guderian's book "Panzer Leader" which presents the conflict through the eye of the famous tank theorist and leader. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 452,908 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 12,112 in History (Books) 28,514 in Society, Politics & Philosophy | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (315) | | Dimensions | 13.6 x 4.8 x 21.6 cm | | Edition | New Ed | | ISBN-10 | 0304358649 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0304358649 | | Item weight | 572 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 560 pages | | Publication date | 12 July 2001 | | Publisher | W&N | ## Images ![Barbarossa: The Russian German Conflict (W&N Military) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rGP3yIxbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A really good, well researched book *by S***N on 12 November 2023* I've been reading "proper" history books about WW2 for sometime now and it's really interesting to read that there were other reasons for the defeat and end to the Nazi regime than the "madness of Hitler".

This is the second time I have read the work and I can hardly fault it (yet I shall). Even though one knows the ending it reads like a novel one cannot put down; Clark engages his reader very well indeed. Clark, sensibly, does not regard Hitler as a mindless monster as of the "Black lagoon": he recognizes Hitler's personal bravery and his brilliance. Indeed, he partially exonerates Hitler of blame for military cock-ups which were attributed to the Fuehrer post hoc in the memoires of German generals. The story is a tradegy for the Russians, ultimately more so for the Germans, and for the many hapless others caught up in a conflict imbued with crazy racial doctrines. Which leading character comes out best from Clark's account: Hitler or Stalin? It's a toss up really. Stalin had no compunction about starving peasants or culling his military leadership in purges. Hitler, for the most part, did not persecute those he regarded as his own countrymen yet he was merciless to those deemed racially inferior (which included some of his own countrymen). The only reservation I have of this work is the quality of the maps. Clark frequently refers to locations that are not on his maps. To get the best out of this book one needs to refer to a war atlas of Russia at that time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/60749192-barbarossa-the-russian-german-conflict-w-and-n-military](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/60749192-barbarossa-the-russian-german-conflict-w-and-n-military) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
