Operation Barbarossa, Hitler's invasion of Russia in June 1941, aimed at nothing less than a war of extermination to annihilate Soviet communism, liquidate the Jews and create Lebensraum for the German master race. But it led to the destruction of the Third Reich, and was cataclysmic for Germany with millions of men killed, wounded or registered as missing in action. It was this colossal mistake -- rather than any action in Western Europe -- that lost Hitler the Second World War.

Drawing on hitherto unseen archival material, including previously untranslated Russian sources, Jonathan Dimbleby puts Barbarossa in its proper place in history for the first time. From its origins in the ashes of the First World War to its impact on post-war Europe, and covering the military, political and diplomatic story from all sides, he paints a full and vivid picture of this monumental campaign whose full nature and impact has remained unexplored.

At the heart of the narrative, written in Dimbleby's usual gripping style, are compelling descriptions of the leaders who made the crucial decisions, of the men and women who fought on the front lines, of the soldiers who committed heinous crimes on an unparalleled scale and of those who were killed when the Holocaust began. Hitler's fatal gamble had the most terrifying of consequences.

Written with authority and humanity, Barbarossa is a masterwork that transforms our understanding of the Second World War and of the twentieth century.

Having read a lot on WWII, I can confidently say this is a thorough examination of Hitler’s invasion of Russia. Some detail I had not heard before. A blow by blow account, hearing the thoughts of leaders, soldiers and civilians on both sides. Good long ‘read’ well read by the author.

Thorough and well read

A staggering story, written and narrated in a clear and concise manner by Dimbleby. Absolute terror of the campaign is brought to the forefront with sublime detail. A great listen.

Absolutely brilliant

I really enjoyed the book. The author reads it extremely well. As a history enthusiast I knew the story of Barbarossa quite well and yet the book kept me engaged. There were parts of the book when I thought there was a bit too much padding that had little to do with the German invasion. I liked the parts about actual battlefield action the most and I wish there was more of that.
I think the main message of the book, other than the ‘never attack Russia in the winter’ was ‘Leave the war decisions to the generals’, as the book focuses on the bad decisions made by politicians on both sides of the conflict. I wouldn’t mind reading another book like this about years 1942-44 and the Soviet counteroffensive

Well read and interesting.

An excellent overview of the subject, which does a very good job of placing Barbarossa in it's historical context and doesn't make the mistake of getting bogged down in the minutiae of the campaign (although perhaps more could have been said of the seiges of Leningrad and Stalingrad, as well as the Battle of Kursk). A gripping listen, not least due to broadcasting experience brought to bear by the author.

Well-written and read well – a gripping listen.
