Praise for John Mosier’s military histories

“Mr. Mosier [is] one of the more entertainingly contrarian military historians writing today.”—The Washington Times

“The author knows his military history, strategy, and tactics…packed with evidence, much of it ingeniously obtained and argued.” —The Washington Post on The Myth of the Great War

“This provocative book tosses military-history hand grenades on almost every page, challenging just about every generally held notion about World War II.”—Forbes on The Blitzkrieg Myth

“A dramatic departure from the conventional wisdom…a dramatic chronicle of the most brutal theater in the most brutal war in one of history’s most brutal centuries…This is a clear-eyed, compelling description of a battle that has been described many times, but seldom with such an ironic eye.”—The Boston Globe on Hitler vs. Stalin

“There is much in the work I really admire, not least its brilliant recasting of the traditional military narrative.”—Niall Ferguson on The Myth of the Great War
