The first history of the Soviet home front experience during World War II and of the civilians who bore the burden of total war and played a critical role in the global victory over fascism.
After Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, German troops conquered the heartland of Soviet industry and agriculture and turned the occupied territories into mass killing fields. The country's survival hung in the balance.
In Fortress Dark and Stern, Wendy Z. Goldman and Donald Filtzer tell the epic tale of the Soviet home front during World War II. Against the backdrop of the Red Army's early retreats and hard-fought advances after Stalingrad, they present the impact of total war behind the front lines in a chronicle of spirited defense efforts, draconian state directives, teeming black markets, official corruption, and selfless heroism. In one of the greatest wartime feats in history, Soviet workers rapidly evacuated factories, food, and people thousands of miles to the east. After long and dangerous journeys in unheated boxcars, they built a new industrial base beyond the reach of German bombers. As the Soviet state reached the height of its power, imposing military discipline and sending millions of people to work thousands of miles from home, ordinary people withstood starvation, epidemics, and horrific living conditions to supply the front and make the Allied victory possible This book examines the dark and painful war years from a new perspective, telling the stories of evacuees, refugees, teenaged and women workers, runaways from work, prisoners, and deportees.
Based on a vast trove of new archival materials, Fortress Dark and Stern reveals a history of suffering, sacrifice, and ultimate triumph largely unknown to Western readers.
Two well-established authors...have combined efforts to create a truly masterful narrative of the gigantic task of mobilizing the home front for a war of unprecedented scale. The story that they tell is as dynamic as the unstable fronts of the war and yields numerous surprises....The wealth of archival sources they have brought to bear, command of the secondary literature, and strongly mounted argument combine to create a book that not only provides a concise account of a major historical event but also gives us a new and convincing interpretation....Most impressively, throughout the book Goldman and Filtzer do an exemplary job of toggling between the grand scale of events and what they meant to individual people....Their narrative is gripping....We now have an authoritative, multifaceted account of the largest labor mobilization in human history.
