Stackpole Books, 1992

Not worse than Trotter's book, just with different emphasis
A few reviews have unfavorably compared this book with Trotter's Frozen Hell but they have missed the point. Trotter's book is an exhaustive look at the military aspects of the Winter War. If you are only looking for such a treatise, then buy Frozen Hell. But if you are looking for the humanitarian aspects of that conflict, then Winter War may be better for your needs. For instance, Winter War ...

Edward Hooton

Ian Allan Ltd, 2008

In September 1939, after years of increasing tension, the German assault on Poland unleashed warfare in Europe for the second time in a generation. For Poland's allies the speed of the German invasion, advance, and victory was a salutary warning of the potency of the massive growth in German military power since the Nazi's had come to power in 1933. With victory assured in the east, and with Poland carved up between Germany and the Soviet Union, ...
