Excellent research,

This review is from: Captured Soviet Generals: The Fate of Soviet Generals Captured in Combat 1941-45 (Soviet Military Institute) (Hardcover)
This is a companion volume to "Fallen Soviet Generals" and goes through the descriptions of what happened to Soviet officers who were captured. Some like Vlasov would join the Germans in one form or another and others would continue to resist German recruitment efforts yet in the end be labeled 'traitors' by the Soviet government and Stalin. It would take at times decades for this label to be taken off and for their families to receive the respect and pensions that they are deserving of for what their husbands or father's had to do and sacrifice. Just like Maslov's other book this one uses a variety of sources and research that is going on to the present day to give a history and explanation for each General and the circumstances he found himself in when captured. Very useful and well worth the money!

This review is from: Captured Soviet Generals: The Fate of Soviet Generals Captured in Combat 1941-45 (Soviet Military Institute) (Hardcover)
"Well worth the money." This is a quote from the previous reviewer. Depends on how you look at it. Personally I think that having to fork out the sum $ 150,00 for a book of some 250 pages, a new book that is, not some rare bibliophile first edition, or a copy signed by Stalin, is a bit steep. I could even go one better and say that this price is bl**dy ridiculous, no matter how interesting the subject is!
$ 150,00I!! Go sit on it, mr. Maslov!. Geez! I mean: couldn't you get some money form some corrupt superrich Russian oligarch, who then would support the arts instead of blowing all his money on some English Premier League soccer team? That would be better than robbing us poor Eastern Front afficionados. $ 150,00..tsk, honestly, I ask you.......
