World War II Editorial Review
The Viaz'ma Catastrophe, 1941: The Red Army's Disastrous Stand Against Operation Typhoon is a translated Russian book that strives to set the record straight on the Ost Front. The author attempts to uncover the truth about his father's fate in WWII, bringing to light the politics, ineptitude, and devastating effects of war that resulted in the loss of thousands of Russian lives. The book examines the beginnings of the Russian campaign, the Vaiz'ma encirclements, and the reorganization of the defense of Moscow, illustrating how close the Germans were to occupying Moscow in the November/December 1941 timeframe. Despite being informative, the book can be repetitive and could benefit from a streamlined approach to improve readability. The author also spends Considerable time defending Russia's cover-up of its casualty figures, despite criticizing the effort to hide these figures. Nevertheless, the book is thoroughly researched, well worth the effort and provides a balanced account.
