{"product_id":"the-second-world-war-vol-geoffrey-jukes-9780415968492","title":"The Second World War, Vol. 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 invade the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa) and offers an account of the campaign that followed. The Germans expected to conquer Russia in only four months, but at Stalingrad and then at Kursk the Russians held their ground. At a human cost of 27 million Russian lives, Hitler was forced into a humiliating retreat, while the Soviet Union emerged from the war as a global superpower.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey Jukes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415968496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415968492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.86h x 6.92w x 0.45d","brand":"Geoffrey Jukes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056098177279,"sku":"9780415968492","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3190240-1c35-4071-9452-5360344a57a6.jpg?v=1685039504","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-second-world-war-vol-geoffrey-jukes-9780415968492","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
