There was only one point in the Second World War when Nazi Germany had a chance of winning That point was October 1941 when most of the Red Armys forces before Moscow had been smashed or encircled and no reserves were available to defend the capital All that stood in Hitlers way were a handful of Soviet rifle divisions tank brigades and hastily assembled militiaAccording to German accounts their spearheads were stopped by the mud but a close examination of German records shows this was not so Instead it is clear that it was the resistance of the Red Army and bad arrogant planning that halted the Wehrmacht This is the dramatic story that Jack Radey and Charles Sharp tell in this compelling study of a previously unknown part of the Battle of Moscow Using archival records from both sides they reveal how the Soviets inflicted a stunning defeat on a German plan to encircle six Soviet armies the middle of October 1941Jack Radey has researched deeply into the history of the Second World War in general and has made a particular study of the conflict on the Eastern Front He has written many games articles and film scripts on subjects as wide ranging as the Korsun Pocket Borodino 41 American Civil War battlefields DDay Iwo Jima and BarbarossaCharles Sharp has a longstanding interest in military history He spent twenty years in the US Army from the Vietnam War He served in the army through the end of the Cold War and the first Iraq War retiring in 1992 Since then he has written fifteen books on the Soviet and German armies in the Second World War published in the Soviet Order of Battle series and lectured on military history

After 1945 state patriotism of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe was characterized by the widespread use of national symbols In communist Hungary the party MKP widely celebrated national holidays national heroes erected national statues and employed national street names This socialist patriotism had its origin in the national line of the Comintern established on Soviet instructions following the German invasion of the Soviet Union At that time Stalin called the parties of the Comintern to oppose the Germans by issuing the call for national liberation This policy continued after 1945 when as an aid in the struggle for power the MKP presented itself as both the heir to the traditions of the nations and the only true representative of the interest of the Hungarian people Paradoxically however the Soviet origins of the national line were also one of the main obstacles to its success as the MKP could not put forward national demands if these conflicted with Soviet interests Martin Mevius pioneering study reveals that what had started as a tactical measure in 1941 had become the selfimage of party and state in 1953 and that the ultimate loyalty to the Soviet Union worked to the detriment of the national party the MKP never rid itself of the label agents of Moscow

Though few realize it the Netherlands East Indies were the object of Japans attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 Likewise their invasions of Guam Wake Island and the Philippines were mainly diversionary operations to safeguard their main assault on Dutch and British colonies Since the end of World War I Japan had coveted the vast East Indies oil reserves and the colony had feared invasion since Germany overran Holland in May 1940 Isolated politically the weakly defended archipelago was a tempting prize The East Indies government initially maintained a strict policy of neutrality while desperately working to build up its military strength As Japanese actions pushed the region toward war the Dutch reluctantly embraced closer ties with America and Britain For a brief period the East Indies were key players in Pacific War strategy This book details for the first time in English the Dutch prewar strategy their efforts to counter Japanese espionage and their sizable though largely forgotten military contribution in the early months of the Pacific War
