Book excerpt: This volume and the series that provides its context, restores that which was lost and concealed to the historical record. Exploring newly-released Russian archival materials, it reveals the unbounded ambitions that shaped the Stavka's winter offensive and the full scope and scale of the Red Army's many offensive operations. For example, it reflects on recently-rediscovered Operation Mars, Marshal Zhukov's companion-piece to the more famous Operation Uranus at Stalingrad. It then reexamines the Red Army's dramatic offensive into the Donbas and Khar'kov region during February, clearly domonstrating that this offensive was indeed conducted by three rather than two Red Army fronts. Included are over one hundred operational maps that highlight key aspects of the offensives as well as many photographs of key historical figures.
