S This is an expanded version of Ice-Breaker: Some Russian historians are certainly opposed to Suvorov and apparently an Israeli one as well. One of the criticisms is that Suvorov doesn't cite his sources. But as he said, forget the documents, simply look at what was done and weigh it as for attack or defence. Aug 03, Jonathan rated it it was amazing Shelves: The Red Army was much more powerful than the Wehrmacht, but was practically destroyed in the first months of the campaign because it was deployed and concentrated close to the USSR's western borders and not in depth for defense.

This is obviously a historical controversy, According to Suvorov, Stalin and not Hitler was responsible for the outbreak of World War II, and that when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June , Stalin was preparing an invasion of Europe only a few weeks further on. This is obviously a historical controversy, but Suvorov has convincing arguments, as well as an engaging style. Worth the time it takes to read if you have an interest in the history of the Second World War. Feb 13, Marina rated it liked it. A must read for WWII history buffs.

It points out the lies and propaganda the western world was fed about Stalin and the Soviet Union. Filled with so much detail and evidence it kind of becomes difficult to get through at times. Suvorov has done a great service in the writing and researching of this excellent work. He challenges thoroughly and systematically most of the assumptions we as westerners have about the build-up to the Second World War. In the course ofso doing, he leaves a major question on the table: As savior of Europe, did Germany save the world from Stalin and communism? These are extremely uncomf Eye opener Mr.

These are extremely uncomfortable and hardly desirable conclusions. Yet we seem to have no choice. It should be noted that Mr.

Suvorov is most certainly not a closeted Nazi from what I can gather. To find myself even considering for a moment that Hitler could be a hero, even if for the wrong reasons, is shocking. Did Germany, having realized it was duped, take the fall and pay the ultimate price to save Europe from communism?

This book does explicitly say Germany's invasion ultimately caused the Soviet downfall and that Stalin quickly realized that fact. For me, the Soviet actions and unimaginable preparations for a preemptive strike on Nazi Europe are staggering. Those thoughts and conclusions are almost too difficult for me to want to make.

This work will challenge what you think you know. Sep 29, Karun rated it it was amazing.

Brimming with stunning facts and disclosures. He disputes established wisdom that Soviet union was an innocent victim of Nazi aggression. To the contrary ,author argues, Stalin planned to invade Germany. Secret mobilisation of forces had been going on for sometime as Soviets started massed troops,tanks,artillery,warplanes along its western borders.

Hitler guessed Stalin's intentions. Wehrmacht now poised invade British Isles took an u turn.

In short, Stalin raised an axe. Before he could bring his axe down, Hitler jumped at him. Irony of this book is world escaped a Soviet style only by a whisker. It was Fuhrer who saved us from this calamity. I feel this book has stirred a hornets nest. Veracity of its contents will be continued to debated for several years to come.
