Nice to see they are starting to translate a number of Russian volumes about the GPW into English. Is the Russian version only available though the link you gave?Igorn wrote: English version of the book will be published by Helion in 2014.

Hi Leachjeff,
Currently Russian version is sold through my web site (www.2gvta.ru). If you are interested to order a copy you can write me a private message and we can agree on the terms. I can send you a book to Sweden or other country if required.

This book has been listed in english vendors for a while but its release-date has kept on being pushed back. Currently, it's March 2015 on amazon. Any information?
Re: Combat History of the Soviet 2nd Guards Tank Army
People are starting to get copies; however it would be helpful if the author or associated persons/publisher also include a preview- index and sample pages would be nice.

Dear All,
The English edition of the book - "Stalin's Favorite" was released in May by Helion and available for ordering. There is also a customer review there which can be useful: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1909 ... _i=desktop.
I have posted today a short excerpt from the book on the analysis of strength of the GD and 24th panzer division on the eve of the Targu Frumos tank battle which you can find here - http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 3&start=90
Best Regards,

Re: Combat History of the Soviet 2nd Guards Tank Army
Thanks Igor, for the good work.
Having read part of this book, I can heartily say that it's very good/essential reading about an important subject that is not covered elsewhere in the english language. This book should help anyone who is trying to understand operational history better.

Re: Combat History of the Soviet 2nd Guards Tank Army
Igorn or others- when will volume 2 be released and when will 1GTA be released? (estimated dates?) What a good series you have here.
Re: Combat History of the Soviet 2nd Guards Tank Army
It will take probably about 3-4 months to complete translation and editing of Volume 2's and about another 1-2 months for proof-reading and type-setting. I hope that Helion will be able to release Volume 2 of Stalin's Favorite before Christmas. My new book on the combat history of the 1st Guards Tank Army in 2 volumes is with them and should be released in 2016.
Best Regards,

Re: Combat History of the Soviet 2nd Guards Tank Army
Looking forward to all three volumes. Good Work.
Re: Combat History of the Soviet 2nd Guards Tank Army
While It takes time for Helion to translate into English my first two books on 2-nd GTA and 1-st GTA I have just completed my new manuscript in two volumes on another Guards Tank Army.Russian version has about 1100 pages of text, many rare photographs and original maps. Unfortunately translation and editing hinder fast release of my new titles into English.
Re: Combat History of the Soviet 2nd Guards Tank Army
Is the third book 3. Guards Tank Army ? Wonderful.
I am close to finishing your book and have found it very satisfying. You are most likely correct in your blurb- at least in the US I have never found a detailed unit history on a tank army until yours came along. thanks for the prompt responses to queries.
