Jonathan Smele, Admiral Kolchak and the Civil War
This article discusses the writings of Dr Jonathan D. Smele, in particular his research on the Civil War (or civil wars) fought on the territory of the former Russian Empire. It does this in the context of the development of western historiography since the 1930s. The author of this article worked in the same field for many years and has known Smele since he was a postgraduate at the University of Glasgow. Smele's first major book was Civil War i…
World War II
This is a revised and updated edition of Evan Mawdsley's acclaimed global history of World War II. Beginning with the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Evan Mawdsley shows how the war's origins lay in a conflict between the old international order and the new and traces its globalisation as it swept through Asia, Europe and the Middle East. The primary focus is on the war's military and strategic history, though also examines the political, econ…
The War for the Seas
War for the Seas
December 1941
In far-flung locations around the globe, an unparalleled sequence of international events took place between December 1 and December 12, 1941. In this riveting book, historian Evan Mawdsley explores how the story unfolded. He demonstrates how these dramatic events marked a turning point not only in the course of World War II but also in the direction of the entire century. On Monday, December 1, 1941, the Japanese government made its final decisi…
Thunder in the East
Thunder in the East, originally published in 2005, is widely regarded as the best short history of the entire Nazi-Soviet military conflict. It tells the story from the pre-war expectations of Hitler and Stalin, through the pivotal battles deep in Russia in 1942-43, and on to the huge Soviet offensives across Eastern Europe in 1944-45. This final ‘march of liberation’ destroyed the Third Reich and set Europe's history for the next 45 years. The b…
The Cambridge History of the Second World War
The military events of the Second World War have been the subject of historical debate from 1945 to the present. It mattered greatly who won, and fighting was the essential determinant of victory or defeat. In Volume 1 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War a team of twenty-five leading historians offer a comprehensive and authoritative new account of the war's military and strategic history. Part I examines the military cultures and st…
The Cambridge History of the Second World War
War is often described as an extension of politics by violent means. With contributions from twenty-eight eminent historians, Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War examines the relationship between ideology and politics in the war's origins, dynamics and consequences. Part I examines the ideologies of the combatants and shows how the war can be understood as a struggle of words, ideas and values with the rival powers expressin…
The Cambridge History of the Second World War
The conflict that ended in 1945 is often described as a 'total war', unprecedented in both scale and character. Volume 3 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War adopts a transnational approach to offer a comprehensive and global analysis of the war as an economic, social and cultural event. Across twenty-eight chapters and four key parts, the volume addresses complex themes such as the political economy of industrial war, the social prac…

The Damned and the Dead
Nazi Policy on the Eastern Front, 1941
This is a tightly-focused collection of eleven essays. Ten deal with Axis policy in the Soviet Union in the first six months of the Second World War. The odd chapter out might seem to be that of Thomas Laub, which is about occupied France; this piece, however, functions as a contrast to developments in the East (it also shows how these developments eventually influenced the French situation). The editors’ decision to consider both aspects of Oper…

Anti-German Insurgency and Allied Grand Strategy
There was not, except in the very broadest sense, a unified ‘Allied’ grand strategy regarding any aspect of World War II. British–American strategy and Soviet strategy were formed in isolation. This was certainly true of the strategy of anti-German insurgency. Aside from geographical and ideological factors a major source of difference was that Britain was at war with Germany from September 1939, while the USSR and the USA became involved two yea…
Thunder in the East
The battles in Russia played the decisive part in Hitler's defeat. Gigantic, prolonged, and bloody, they contrasted with the general nature of the fighting on other fronts. The Russians fought on their own in 'their' theater of war and with an independent strategy. Stalinist Russia was a country radically different from its liberal democratic allies. Hitler and the German high command, for their part, conceived and carried out the Russian campaig…
Hitler and Stalin in Perspective
Two complementary speeches made by Hitler and Stalin in the months before the invasion are uniquely revealing. On 30 March 1941 Hitler addressed the leaders of the Wehrmacht’s forces deployed in the east about the military situation and the nature of the planned campaign. Five weeks later, on 5 May, Stalin presented a similar overview of the military situation at a Red Army graduation ceremony attended by many Soviet leaders. Despite their great …

Renewal and Dead Souls
For a Soviet General Secretary presumably committed to the collectivist principles of Marxism-Leninism, Mikhail Gorbachev has been peculiarly insistent upon the decisive importance of individual leadership. In speech after speech it was not only the socioeconomic order that Gorbachev held to be the source of the Soviet Union's problems: the quality and style of its political leadership were also crucial factors
Interviewing the Soviet Elite
Interview methods have rarely been employed at leading levels in modern societies, and they have been even less frequently employed, despite their potential, in societies under Communist rule.1 It was appropriate, for example, that a discussion of the Khrushchev period between Aleksandr Shelepin, Vladimir Senichastnyi and former Moscow first secretary Nikolai Egorychev, recorded in what was then the Central Party Archives, should appear in a volu…

Makers of the Soviet Union revisited
The 1990 central committee of the CPSU in perspective
ON 13 JULY 1990 the XXVIII CPSU Congress elected a new Central Committee (CC). Drastic changes were made to the official posts 'represented' on the CC and to the individuals who held CC membership. The changes can best be judged by comparing the new with the old, and the purpose of this article is to put the composition of the new CC into a historical perspective by comparing it with the CCs elected in 1981 and 1986. The 1990 Congress took place …
