This book was first published in 2002 and had passed me by, so I was pleased to see it reprinted by Pen & Sword Military. Of the two authors, Dr. Chris MANN was a lecturer in European history, and later at the R.M.A. Sandhurst. He held a Doctorate from King’s College, London, with one of his specialisations Scandinavian military history. His colleague Dr. Christer JORGENSEN gained his Ph.D. from University College, London, and lived in Sweden where he wrote on military subjects.
With the standard of the authors, it is of no surprise that the book is well scripted, based on extensive and thorough research, and is comprehensive. There are seven chapters covering Germany, Finland and the Winter War; the Invasion of Norway; Operation Barbarossa (the German invasion of the U.S.S.R.); Stalemate on the Frozen Front; The Arctic Convoys; The U.S.S.R’s counter invasion and victory; and the Price of Occupation. Each covers the subject from a strategic and operational level, on land, sea and in the air, as well as giving some insight into the day-to-day tactical issues and effects.
