Stalin's reluctant soldiers : a social history of the Red Army, 1925-1941
1996
Under Joseph Stalin's iron-fisted rule, the Soviet state tried to forge an army that would be both a shining example of proletarian power and an indomitable deterrent against fascist aggression. In reality, the author reveals, Stalin's grand military experiment failed miserably on both counts before it was finally rescued within the crucible of war. Instead, the author portrays an army at war with itself, focusing on the daily lives of soldiers, officers, and civilians. Includes bibliographical references (pages 239-251) and index. xii, 267 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
