{"product_id":"the-second-world-war-5-geoffrey-jukes-9781841763910","title":"The Second World War (5): The Eastern Front 1941-1945","description":"In 1940, fresh from the success in France, Hitler turned his attention to the East. In this volume Geoffrey Jukes explains what led to Hitler's decision to instigate the invasion of the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa) and offers a concise account of the campaign that followed. The Germans expected to conquer Russia in only four months, but at Stalingrad and then Kursk the Russians fought back. At a human cost of 27 million Soviet lives Hitler was forced into a humiliating retreat and Russia emerged from the war as a super power ready to take on the capitalist world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey Jukes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841763918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841763910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 6.74w x 0.28d","brand":"Geoffrey Jukes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450021949695,"sku":"9781841763910","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0fd14d06-f8fc-4e3b-9fac-f6588bd037b8.jpg?v=1777265897","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-second-world-war-5-geoffrey-jukes-9781841763910","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
