Following the companion volume on Asia’s path to war, this second book in the Strife! series dives headfirst into Europe’s long and winding road to World War II.

Маршал Советского Союза Константин Рокоссовский (1896–1968) — один из «авторов» Победы в Великой Отечественной войне. В конце жизни Рокоссовский выступил в роли автора книги, посвященной ее важнейшим этапам и сражениям. Опубликованные вскоре после его смерти, мемуары стали последним «солдатским долгом», с честью исполненным маршалом. Советская цензура сократила или переписала почти половину рукописи. Настоящее издание воспроизводит авторский текст полностью.

Se Pansa è stato un giornalista stimato per la sua onestà, un giornalista ‘democratico e di sinistra’, se i suoi scritti sulla Resistenza gli hanno procurato persino il riconoscimento di Grande Ufficiale della Repubblica da parte del presidente Ciampi, come è possibile che, per aver completato la verità sul ‘biennio fatale 1943-45’, si sia trasformato in un falsario o, per i suoi peggiori detrattori, nientemeno che in un fascista?”

The author, a veteran producer of historical documentaries, brings to life this era of political unrest and violent conflict, when forces on both the left and right were engaged in a desperate power struggle.

La sera del 23 agosto 1942 la Sedicesima divisione corazzata tedesca si assestava sulle rive del Volga, a breve distanza dalla città di Stalingrado . Era l'avanguardia della "grande armata" che poco più di un anno prima Hitler aveva lanciato a sorpresa contro l'Unione Sovietica "per schiacciare il comunismo slavo". L'Armata Rossa pareva in rotta. Gli uomini della Wehrmacht non potevano sapere che la città assediata sarebbe diventata un baluardo insuperabile, una trappola per le ambizioni del Reich e la tomba di decine di migliaia di suoi soldati.
