Edwin P. Hoyt, author of Japan's War, 199 Days: The Battle for Stalingrad, and How They Won the War in the Pacific: Nimitz and His Admirals, lives in Beaverton, Oregon, near Portland.
The Eastern Front was chaos, blood, and destruction on an
unimaginable scale. Yet, one man dominated it—Stalin. Edwin Hoyt
brings the reader into this maelstrom from the web center of the
great tyrant whose paranoia set the Soviet Union up for near
destruction but who yet transformed himself into the able warlord
who beat the Wehrmacht to death.
*Peter G. Tsouras, Author of Panzers on the Eastern Front
and The Great Patriotic War*
The story of the Soviet Union's struggle to victory in World War II
is a gripping one and Hoyt retells it with the observant eye of an
historian and the narrative drive of a novelist. By the end of
Stalin's War it is chillingly clear that the Soviet dictator was as
much at war with his own people as he was with the Nazis.
*Steven Otfinoski, Author of Joseph Stalin: Russia's Last
Czar*
Fast paced and informative, Stalin's War sustains the author's
track record. It is one of Hoyt's best.
*Earl Ziemke, Author of Moscow to Stalingrad and
Stalingrad to Berlin*
This is a powerful horror story about the chaotic, wasteful,
war-waging by a dictator who was every bit as murderous as Adolf
Hitler. Hoyt's insights into Stalin's mind and into his
extravagantly ruthless methods, which caused the quite unnecessary
deaths of millions of his own people (let alone his enemies and
allies), provides a vivid and unusual contribution to the history
of World War II on the enormous Russian Front.
*Kenneth Macksey, Author of Rommel: Battles and Campaigns
and Guderian: Panzer Leader*
As usual Hoyt can be relied upon to give an exciting, anecdotal
account of difficult military and naval subjects. In Stalin's War
he excels himself. An excellent read, heartily recommended.
*Charles Whiting, Author of Hunters from the Sky,
Siegfried, and '44*
