Description

Using an original method of analyzing recently declassified documents of the General Staff, the GRU and the SVR of Russia, specialized military, scholarly-historical and memoir literature, and archival documents of the USSR, the USA and the FRG, the author uncovers the true causes of the Soviet forces' devastating defeat at the start of the Great Patriotic War. For the first time, a thorough study is made of the discovered fact that the Soviet high command covertly substituted, for the official plan for the defense of the country, an "illiterate scenario for entering the war," strikingly similar to (Marshal Tukhachevsky's) "Plan for the Defeat of the USSR in a War with Germany," and based on the criminal idea of an immediate head-on counter-blitzkrieg along a static "narrow-ribbon" front. The true role of Stalin is shown, as an outstanding statesman, a politician of world stature, a strategist, a commander, a diplomat, and a highly effective organizer and manager. The book contains a great deal of unknown and little-known data, especially intelligence data, which make it possible to understand precisely the motives behind Stalin's various decisions.
