In 1941 close to one million Russian soldiers died defending Moscow from German invasion-more causalities than that of the United States and Britain during all of World War II. Many of these soldiers were in fact not soldiers at all, but instead ordinary people who took up arms to defend their city. Students dropped their books for guns; released prisoners exchanged their freedom for battle; and women fought alongside men on the bloody, mud-covered frozen road to Moscow. By the time the United States entered the war the Germans were already retreating and a decisive victory had been won for the Allies. With extensive research into the lives of soldiers, politicians, writers, artists, workers, and children, Rodric Braithwaite creates a richly detailed narrative that captures this crucial moment. Moscow 1941 is a dramatic, unforgettable portrait of an often overlooked battle that changed the world.

The largest war in history- the Eastern Front in WWII-is depicted here with alot of personal anecdotes and experiences.The specific battle of Moscow-the ostensible title and subject of the book -doesn't arise until at least halfway into the text. This is all for the best since the author does a credible job placing the reader in the ambience of the time and characterizing the political leaders before delving into military matters.The revelations of the vanity and short-sightedness of Stalin and his sycophants are in full bloom.But, is such a case so unique?
