Kharkov became one of the most bitterly contested cities during the war on the Eastern Front, and this book presents a graphic overview of the atrocious conditions the soldiers on both sides had to endure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1941 Kharkov fell to Hitler's Army Group South. In 1942 the Soviets tried and failed to retake it, losing 240,000 men in the Barvenkovo Bulge. Then, in 1943, the control of the battered city changed hands twice before the Soviets liberated it for good. The fate of Kharkov during the war reflects the history of the wider struggle between Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Tucker-Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1473827477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781473827479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen \u0026amp; Sword Military\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Anthony Tucker-Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058305102079,"sku":"9781473827479","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c955886-a725-4de2-b848-c7e3c161755c.jpg?v=1685051813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-battle-for-kharkov-1941-anthony-tucker-jones-9781473827479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
