15. COSSACKS IN THE GERMAN ARMY,
Samuel Newland, C,
history of the group of Soviet nationalists the Cossacks and their service with the Germans between 1941 and 1945. Though the German High Command debated throughout the war on
whether to allow Slavs to wear a German uniform, both the political and military leadership agreed the Cossacks were
worthy. The Cossacks who wore German uniforms saw their service not
as treason to the motherland, but as an episode in the revolution of 1917,
part of an ongoing struggle against Moscow and against Communism. A
Wehrmacht needing men and an SS hungry for power reinterpreted or ignored
Hitler's racist ideology to form entire divisions of Cossack volunteers.
German offices developed relationships to "their" Cossacks
similar to those in the French and British colonial armies. The Cossacks
responded by fighting effectively and reliably on the Russian Front and in
the Balkans. Their reward was forced repatriation into Stalin's Gulag at
the hands of the Western powers in 1945. Scholarly study.

79. ZHUKOV,
Otto Chaney, C,
This is the updated edition of the best biography of Zhukov ever published. It is a must for anyone that has an interest in the Marshal's career and/or an interest in the former USSR military machine and how it operated. After years of false and censored information on Zhukov and the Soviet military, "Zhukov" brings to light the the personalities (and incompetence) of such Soviet individuals as Stalin, Khruschev, and Breznev. The book helps show how these 'leaders' (through their low level of intelligence and maturity) helped stunt the growth of the USSR as a nation. Most importantly, the book brings to light the actual accomplishments of Marshal Zhukov (ie. Moscow, Stalingrad, Berlin, etc.) and how much of a role he had in the planning of these operations. From these accomplishments of the Marshal, one can see how 'cults of personalities' were able to appear in such magnitude in the former USSR. The book is a fast reader and highly enjoyable.
