Red Phoenix Rising: The Soviet Air Force in World War II (Modern War Studies)
Red Phoenixwas in a class of its own when it was first published but limited by what could be known from Soviet sources. This new edition of a classic can now tell the story in full. For anyone who wants to know what contribution the Soviet Air Force made to the grueling victory over Axis forces on the Eastern Front there is no better guide. --Richard Overy, author ofThe Air War, 1939–1945An impressive and long-awaited work that goes a long way towards filling one of the last major gaps in the historiography of the 1939–1945 air war. It should dominate the field for decades. --Richard R. Muller, author ofThe German Air War in Russia
