The largest war in history- the Eastern Front in WWII-is depicted here with alot of personal anecdotes and experiences.The specific battle of Moscow-the ostensible title and subject of the book -doesn't arise until at least halfway into the text. This is all for the best since the author does a credible job placing the reader in the ambience of the time and characterizing the political leaders before delving into military matters.The revelations of the vanity and short-sightedness of Stalin and his sycophants are in full bloom.But, is such a case so unique?
