Myths and Legends of the Eastern Front
Anyone able to comment on this book? Written by B Sokokov & translated by R Harrison. It analyzes 13 aspects of the German Soviet War. Some of the material I have been familiar with for decades. Other item I skimmed are new, to me at least.
Soliciting opinions on the book usefulness.
Thanks

Re: Myths and Legends of the Eastern Front
Skimming a few pages the narrative looks 'professional'. As someone who has read title on the eastern front it might make more sense from the perspective of 2020 to read this first.
Re: Myths and Legends of the Eastern Front
The author of this book is Boris Sokolov, do I need to say more ?

It's funny, Sokolov is mythmaker himself.Carl Schwamberger wrote: ↑02 Feb 2020, 00:08Anyone able to comment on this book? Written by B Sokokov & translated by R Harrison

Mr Sokolov has a reputation, basically if you find some old time Soviet propaganda, then turn them upside down, then you would pretty much get the things he writes

Re: Myths and Legends of the Eastern Front
Thanks. This seems to illustrate one of the difference between studying Soviet & Western history.
