A SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER

With his customary literary flair and capacity to master and mobilize very many and varied sources, Jonathan Dimbleby gives us the best single-volume account of the Barbarossa campaign to date
Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny

Like a fast-moving juggernaut of horror, Dimblebys Barbarossa is a page-turning descent into Hell and back. Part warning, part fable, but all too true, this fresh and compelling account of Hitlers failed invasion of the Soviet Union should be on everyones reading list for 2021
Dr Amanda Foreman, author of A World on Fire
_______________________________
Operation Barbarossa, Hitlers invasion of Russia in June 1941, aimed at nothing less than a war of extermination to annihilate Soviet communism, liquidate the Jews and create Lebensraum for the German master race. But it led to the destruction of the Third Reich, and was cataclysmic for Germany with millions of men killed, wounded or registered as missing in action. It was this colossal mistake -- rather than any action in Western Europe -- that lost Hitler the Second World War.
Drawing on hitherto unseen archival material, including previously untranslated Russian sources, Jonathan Dimbleby puts Barbarossa in its proper place in history for the first time. From its origins in the ashes of the First World War to its impact on post-war Europe, and covering the military, political and diplomatic story from all sides, he paints a full and vivid picture of this monumental campaign whose full nature and impact has remained unexplored.
At the heart of the narrative, written in Dimblebys usual gripping style, are compelling descriptions of the leaders who made the crucial decisions, of the men and women who fought on the front lines, of the soldiers who committed heinous crimes on an unparalleled scale and of those who were killed when the Holocaust began. Hitlers fatal gamble had the most terrifying of consequences.
Written with authority and humanity, Barbarossa is a masterwork that transforms our understanding of the Second World War and of the twentieth century.

Praise for Barbarossa
With his customary literary flair and capacity to master and mobilize very many and varied sources, Jonathan Dimbleby gives us the best single-volume account of the Barbarossa campaign to date
Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny
Jonathan Dimbleby rightly identifies the last six months of 1941 following Hitlers invasion of the Soviet Union as the fulcrum on which the history of twentieth century Europe turns. Its a vital story, one everyone should know, and Dimbleby tells it with verve and elan
Laurence Rees, author of Hitler and Stalin
Like a fast-moving juggernaut of horror, Dimblebys Barbarossa is a page-turning descent into hell and back this fresh and compelling account of Hitlers failed invasion of the Soviet Union should be on everyones reading list for 2021
Amanda Foreman, author of A World on Fire
Jonathan Dimblebys analysis of this monumental struggle is masterly, not least by his use of unpublished Russian sources
General Sir Mike Jackson
After The Battle of the Atlantic , another vivid and engrossing tableau from a master of military and high-political narrative
Brendan Simms, author of Hitler: Only the World Was Enough
Jonathan Dimblebys masterly account of the most monumental conflict in human history is an impressive achievement. This is a fast-paced, gripping read, but it is the wealth of eyewitness evidence detailing the unspeakable horror and hardship, the apocalyptic scenes and sheer savagery of Barbarossa that leaves the most lasting impression
Julia Boyd, author of Travellers in the Third Reich
A great read. Dimbleby gives an excellent account of the relationships between the leaders and, thanks to a wide range of sources, an authentic sense of the military experience he brings Barbarossa very vividly to life, as if you are there
Robert Kershaw, author of War Without Garlands: Operation Barbarossa 19411942 and Borodino Field 1812/1941
Jonathan Dimblebys thought-provoking and elegantly written study of Operation Barbarossa describes in compelling detail how Nazi Germany, despite its earlier military triumphs, had lost this war already by the end of 1941. This book is a captivating eye-opener Gerhard Hirschfeld, author of The Policies of Genocide and former President of the International Committee for the Study of the Second World War
Jonathan Dimblebys epic account captures all the drama and magnitude of an event that determined not just the outcome of the war, but the future of the world
Martin Sixsmith
Jonathan Dimblebys book is not only superbly well written, but also happens to be the most comprehensive study of Hitlers invasion of the USSR in years
Keith Lowe, author of Savage Continent
Expertly narrated and written with piercing (and often horrifying) clarity, this monumental work of popular history leaves no doubt that the holocaust of the Jews and the deliberate starvation and slaughter of many millions of Russian civilians were part of the Nazi plan from the outset
Frederick Taylor, author of 1939: A Peoples History
A chilling account of war at its worst
Bear Grylls
Superb. Jonathan Dimbleby has produced an epic, compelling and powerfully written account of what was unquestionably the defining campaign of the Second World War. Full of fresh insights and vivid details, Barbarossa is a book of huge importance, and one that stays with you long after you have finished
Henry Hemming, author of Our Man in New York
A brilliant account of the decisive land battle of the decisive land campaign of the Second World War, an epic in the story of industrialized land warfare This is a wonderful piece of history, fresh with up to date details, new sources, and novel insights
Robert Fox
