"In Hitler's Great Gamble, James Ellman argues that Barbarossa was a gamble, but a reasonable gamble spoiled not by strategic shortsightedness, but by diplomatic setbacks and poor execution. Drawing on a wealth of primary and secondary sources, Hitler's Great Gamble is a provocative work that will appeal to World War II enthusiasts and historians"--
