When Titans Clashed

How the Red Army Stopped Hitler

By: David M. Glantz, Jonathan M. House

Narrated by: James Romick

Revised and updated to reflect recent Russian and Western scholarship on the subject, this new edition maintains the 1995 original's distinction as a crucial volume in the history of World War II and of the Soviet Union and the most informed and compelling perspective on one of the greatest military confrontations of all time.

In 1941, when Pearl Harbor shattered America's peacetime pretensions, the German blitzkrieg had already blasted the Red Army back to Moscow. Yet, less than four years later, the Soviet hammer-and-sickle flew above the ruins of Berlin, stark symbol of a miraculous comeback that destroyed the Germany Army and put an end to Hitler's imperial designs. Drawing on the massive and unprecedented release of Soviet archival documents, David Glantz and noted military historian Jonathan House expand and elaborate our picture of the Soviet war effort.

Rafts of newly available official directives, orders, and reports reveal the true nature and extraordinary scale of Soviet military operations as they swept across the 1,000 miles from Moscow to Berlin, featuring stubborn defenses and monumental offensives and counteroffensives and ultimately costing the two sides combined a staggering 20 million casualties.

Amazing!

The details presented are amazing. Narration is great as well. It is a classic and a must listen for anyone interested in the eastern front of ww2. Needs an accompanying pdf.

Decent

Bizarre that narrator mispronounced German and even English words but still a great read, highly recommended objective piece of history

Extremely well researched.

This is the perfect book for anyone that wants to gain a good understanding of the eastern front.

Excellent

Very thorough and balanced. A history all Americans need to become aware of before we go to war with these people.

Good

Very dry and Russian stuff was absolutely mispronounced but overall good! This is not a breathtaking read…
