Description
About the Author
Simon Forty was educated in Dorset and the north of England before reading history at London University's School of Slavonic and East European Studies. He has been involved in publishing since the mid-1970s, first as editor and latterly as author. Son of author and RAC Tank Museum curator, George Forty, he has continued in the family tradition writing mainly on historical and military subjects. Amongst other books, he is the author of The German Infantryman on the Eastern Front (with Richard Charlton Taylor, 2023) and Red Army into the Reich (with Nik Cornish, 2021), both published by Casemate, and has co-authored a range of highly illustrated books on the Normandy battlefields, the Atlantic Wall and the liberation of the Low Countries. Nik Cornish is a former head teacher who has been supplying top class Eastern Front photographs since his first visit to the USSR in 1985. His knowledge of Russian sources and the battles of the Eastern Front have seen him produce books for Osprey and Pen & Sword as well as titles on the Russian Revolution.
Reviews
...no better-illustrated text has yet been created to carefully, meticulously, carry us over the vast landscape of the most brutal, cruelest, total war the world had ever seen. * Argunners 28/09/2021 *
