When the Soviets fortified Sevastopol in 1941, it heralded the beginning of a period of intense fighting over the Crimea. In this remarkable work, acclaimed author Robert Forcyzk assembles new research to investigate the intense and barbaric fighting for the region in World War II, where first Soviet, and then German armies were surrounded and totally obliterated. Providing a definitive analysis of the many unique characteristics of the conflict, while also exploring the historical context of the region and the appalling policies of ethnic cleansing practiced by both sides, Forcyzk's unique account uncovers one of the most pivotal theaters of the Eastern Front during World War II.
