Book Description
One of the least-known stories of World War II, Operation Mars was an epic military disaster. Designed to dislodge the German Army from its position west of Moscow, Mars cost the Soviets an estimated 335,000 dead, missing, and wounded men and over 1,600 tanks. But in Russian history books, it was a battle that never happened--a historical debacle sacrificed to Stalin's postwar censorship.
David Glantz now offers the first definitive account of this forgotten catastrophe, revealing the key players and detailing the major events of Operation Mars. Using neglected sources in both German and Russian archives, he reconstructs the historical context of Mars and reviews the entire operation from High Command to platoon level.
Orchestrated and led by Marshal Georgi Kostantinovich Zhukov, one of the Soviet Union's great military heroes, the twin operations Mars and Uranus formed the centerpiece of Soviet strategic efforts in the fall of 1942. Launched in tandem with Operation Uranus, the successful counteroffensive at Stalingrad, Mars proved a monumental setback. Fought in bad weather and on impossible terrain, the ambitious offensive faltered despite spectacular initial success in some sectors: Zhukov kept sending in more troops and tanks only to see them decimated by the entrenched Germans.
Illuminating the painful progress of Operation Mars with vivid battle scenes and numerous maps and illustrations, Glantz presents Mars as a major failure of Zhukov's renowned command. Yet, both during and after the war, that failure was masked from public view by the successful Stalingrad operation, thus eliminating any stain from Zhukov's public image as a hero of the Great Patriotic War.
For three grueling weeks, Operation Mars was one of the most tragic and agonizing episodes in Soviet military history. Glantz's reconstruction of that failed offensive fills a major gap in our knowledge of World War II, even as it raises important questions about the reputations of national military heroes.
This book is part of the Modern War Studies series.

Welcome to the Meatgrinder.......2007-04-29
ZHUKOV'S GREATEST DEFEAT is an exhaustive and exacting study of one of the biggest and least-known land battles in history, the Battle for the Rzhev Salient, which took place west of Moscow over three weeks in late 1942. It was written by David M. Glantz, the director of the U.S. Army's Foreign Military Studies Office, who also penned two other Red Army studies, WHEN TITANS CLASHED and STUMBLING COLOSSUS. Like Mr. Glantz's other works, it is notable primarily for its extensive use of Soviet and Russian-language sources, which with the fall of the Soviet Union are becoming increasingly available to Western historians. Thanks to his diligent research, this gigantic clash of Nazi and Soviet armies that produced 400,000 (mostly Soviet) casualties, for decades effectively covered up by postwar Communist historians and generally ignored by westerners obsessed with the simultaneously-occurring Battle of Stalingrad, has now been lifted out of historical obscurity.
Glantz's book primarily covers the period between November 25 and December 15, 1942, when the Red Army launched Operation Mars, a massive offensive on the northern-central sector of the Eastern Front to destroy two German armies poised in a 50 x 30 mile bulge that pointed threateningly towards Moscow. This so-called Rzhev Salient was viewed by Marshal Georgi Zhukov, the ablest of the Soviet generals, as a perfect staging ground for an massive encirclement operation of the type that was being carried out at that moment at Stalingrad. The two operations, it was hoped, would annihilate not merely one German army, but two complete Army groups, and caused a frontwide collapse of Nazi forces in Russia. Zhukov made pain-staking preparations and was fully confident that the cold, dispirited and understrength German divisions in the Salient would quickly fall prey to his massive pincer attack. As Glantz shows us, he was wrong. Poor weather, unsuitable terrain and a tenacious German resistance turned the glorious offensive into an enormous bloodbath. One Soviet brigade after another was shattered, driven back or wiped out completely, only to be replaced by still more who met the same fate. German lines were bent but obstinately refused to break as the Nazi commander, Walther Model, hurled in his last reserves to stem the enemy tide. Long after it was clear that Mars would not achieve any of its objectives, the pathologically stubborn Zhukov continued the attack, as if, in Glantz's words, "to punish" his armies for their failure. The result was 100,000 Russian dead, 235,000 wounded and missing and an incalculable amount of equipment destroyed or captured, for gains that nowhere exceeded more than a few kilometers. It was not for nothing the Soviet soldier dubbed the area of the Salient "the Rzhev meat-grinder."
ZHUKOV'S GREATEST DEFEAT is an important book on the Nazi-Soviet war, but it is clearly meant for hard-core fans of military history only. Glantz is a diligent, thorough, and methodical researcher, but unfortunately, his writing style has these same qualities. There is no attempt to edit, filter or streamline the vast amount of information which marches past on every densely-written page: we are treated to every brigade movement, every redeployment of a grenadier battalion, every argument between unit commanders over tactics and supplies. Stylistically, this reads like a military publication -- extremely heavy on tactical and logistical details, light on prose style. As a result, I often found myself in a Rzhev-like struggle to finish certain parts of the book. Many times I found myself longing for the stylistic skills of a John Keegan, Stephen Ambrose, David Irving or Alan Clark, and instead got fact-stuffed passages talking about how the 3rd Battalion of the 173rd Grenadier Regiment, 12th Panzer Division was replaced in the line by the 1st Battalion, 3rd Regiment, Grossdeutschland Motorized Division. Obviously this type of detail is necessary here and there in any battle-book, but after a couple hundred pages it wears on the eyes.
Having said this, I think ZHUKOV'S GREATEST DEFEAT is still something of a triumph. Mr. Glantz has done nothing less than resurrect a forgotten battle and reconstruct it before our eyes down to its smallest details. He may not be the most asthetically pleasing historian around, but he brings the same type of grim determination to tell the story that Zhukov displayed trying to win the battle. Unlike Zhukov, however, he succeeds.
Thank Goodness for David Glantz !.......2006-08-15
For those who forget the past are condemned to relive it. The supression of knowledge of Operation MARS as military history because of its failure can be dangerous. Failure can be just as instructive as success if not more so. With the addition of this book, we can place the Eastern Front in the broader context that has been missing. This book allows an examination beyond the dogmatic explanation from Soviet sources.
Detailed account of the (virtually unknown) Rzhev operation.......2006-05-24
This is an interesting and detailed account of Operation Mars, the Soviet offensive around the Rzhev salient in the fall of 1942. This massive attack was contemporaneous with the counterattack further south that ultimately led to the encirclement of Stalingrad, and of similar scale in terms of men and material. According to Glantz, this operation was a colossal failure and was largely covered up by the Soviet government. I'm not sure that I entirely agree with this assessment, but little has been written about this operation, and this book nicely fills a longstanding void. It may well have been the Soviet plan for the Stalingrad offensive to be the secondary front, but they would not have succeeded there without the tremendous sacrifice by the Red Army around Rzhev.
This book has several strengths, and I generally recommend this book to any student of the Eastern front. The operation is explained at both the strategic and operational level, and there are detailed maps to show the positions of the larger units (regiment and above) relative to each other and geographic features. The text is divided into five sections. The strategic situation of both sides is outlined in the first, the initial attack in the second, the containment of the offensive by the Germans in the third, the subsequent futile Soviet attacks and ultimate failure in the fourth, and an epilogue and summary in the fifth. This was a rather complex, multi-directional attack to reduce a salient, and the text could easily have been a muddled mess. Glantz does a good job (through the text and the maps) of keeping everything straight so the reader can follow events in both time and space. One feature I thought was particularly useful was that some maps are zoomed in on small regions of the front. Other reviewers expressed a dislike for the maps and symbols, but I thought they were fine.
There are several serious drawbacks to this book that prevent me from giving it 5 stars. First, Glantz's position is VERY pro-Soviet (this is common throughout virtually everything he writes). He pulls no punches here. Historians are often looking for balance, and admittedly for fifty years much of the history about the Eastern front in the West came from German sources, so that our knowledge been skewed. Glantz certainly references many German sources and is clearly very knowledgable in this area, but he has done a great disservice by taking such an evident pro-Soviet position. There is a blatant lack of balance in this work. Second, Glantz often refers to the detailed inner thoughts of commanders. I find it hard to believe that such extensive knowledge of the personal thoughts and feeling of the participants is known. This seriously detracts from this work as history. I got the impression that Glantz is directly putting his own views and interpretations into the narrative by claiming such detailed knowledge of the participants.
I give this book four stars because it is a solid effort written about a virtually unknown operation on the Eastern front. I would not argue with anybody who gave this three stars though, this work does have some serious problems. I found this book easy to read, although I admit that I'm obsessed with this era. This is a dense book packed with information and may not be to everyone's taste. For any serious student of the era, this is really a must have, even given its limitations. There is a wealth of information here, much of it taken from Soviet sources, that is likely to be unknown to the most well read student. For the more casual reader of this epoch, I cannot recommend this book, and suggest that you spend your money elsewhere.
Glantz's research is shoddy.......2006-02-08
David Glantz's research for this book would be unacceptable ,if he were writing a book ,say, on the American Civil War.His access to original sources was inadequate.Therefore, I would take the information in this book with a grain of salt.He exaggerates the casaulty figures of Operation Mars. Operation Mars was meant as a diversion.Glantz has a bias against Zhukov.In his lastest book ,however, he seems to have come to a more objective assessment of Zhukov. Save your money.
Too much detail.......2005-12-05
This ought to to have been a ground-breaking book on the war in Russia, and the tenacity of Hitler's military machine.
But the author seems to have no sense of what is important and what is speculation. The book is overloaded with unnecessary detail. Like most historians, Glantz is a big paragraph man.
No one has ever told him that short paragraphs are easier to read.
I fear in his case, even this slight modification would be of no help.
A ruthless editor should get to work on it and cut through the verbiage to leave what's important.
And other reviewers are right: the maps are appalling.
Book Description
THE HARROWING TRUE STORY OF ONE OF THE GREATEST SEA RESCUES IN HISTORY.
In 1995, Hurricane Roxanne ravaged the Gulf of Mexico, with 90 mph winds and waves up to forty feet. Off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Derrick Lay Barge 269 and its tugboats sat exposed, laying an undersea pipeline. Then, out of nowhere, the maelstrom called Roxanne changed course -- and headed straight for them.
This is the true account of survival in the midst of a hell at sea, as hundreds of men fought a heroic battle against the unrelenting elements to save each other's lives against impossible odds. They were not trained, or paid, or even prepared for such a life-and-death struggle. But those ordinary men, trapped in extraordinary circumstances, exemplified the very best humanity could hope to offer. Told for the first time, this is their story -- and a celebration of their courage.

In July 1945, the heavy cruiser U.S.S. Indianapolis put in at the Pacific atoll of Tinian to deliver a rare cargo: several hundred pounds of uranium, the makings of the two atomic bombs that only a few weeks later would be dropped on Japan. Having discharged this duty, the Indianapolis made way for Guam, and thence for the Philippines, in waters that the high command had assured its captain were safe. En route, it crossed the path of a Japanese submarine, which fired six torpedoes and sank the cruiser, killing hundreds of sailors--some of whom were devoured by sharks--and leaving others to float in the open ocean for days.
Almost as soon as the survivors of the Indianapolis were rescued, the cruiser's unfortunate captain, an Annapolis graduate named Charles Butler McVay III, was court-martialed for his alleged failure to practice evasive maneuvers in enemy waters. Eventually exonerated of all but one charge, McVay still could not escape blame for the ship's loss, and he killed himself in 1968. Richard Newcomb's Abandon Ship!, first published in 1958, brought McVay's sad case to the American public's attention with a vigorous you-are-there account that depicts the miscalculations--and willful misrepresentations--that condemned the Indianapolis. The case was recently reopened thanks to the efforts of McVay's family and a bright middle-school student who looked into the matter as a class project. As a result, the scapegoated captain's name has been cleared. In this edition, McVay's case is updated by the noted true-crime author Peter Maas, whose arguments in McVay's favor add to Newcomb's original findings. Superb as historical journalism, the book is also a fascinating document in the annals of military justice. --Gregory McNamee
Book Description
She was a ship of destiny. Sailing across the Pacific, the battle scarred heavy cruiser U.S.S. Indianapolis had just delivered a secret cargo that would trigger the end of World War II. As she was continuing westward, her captain asked for a destroyer escort. He was told it wasn't necessary. But it was. She was torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine. In twelve minutes, some 300 men went down with her. More then 900 others spent four horrific days and five nights in the ocean with no water to drink, savaged by a pitless sun and swarms of sharks. Incredibly, nobody knew they were out until a Navy patrol plane accidentally discovered them. Miraculously, 316 crewmen still survived. How could this have happened -- and why? This updated edition of Abandon Ship!, with a new introduction and afterword by Peter Maas, supplies the chilling answer. Originally published in 1958, Abandon Ship!, was the first book to describe, in vivid detail, the unspeakable ordeal the survivors of the Indianapolis endured. It was also the first book to scrutinize the role of the U.S. Navy in the Indianapolis saga, especially in the cruel aftermath of the rescue when Captain Charles Butler McVay III was courtmartialed and convicted of "hazarding" his ship.
The bitter controversy over the Navy's handling of this case has raged for decades, with the survivors leading a campaign to set the record straight and exonerate Captain McVay. Peter Maas, the author of the New York Times bestseller The Terrible Hours, reveals facts previously unavailable to Richard Newcomb and chronicles the forty-year crusade to restore the captain's good name, a crusade that started with the publication of this book. He also pays tribute to its author, who dared, ahead of his time, to expose military malfeasance and cover-up, and to inspire a courageous battle to correct a grave miscarriage of justice.

How Could This Have Happened?.......2006-08-03
This book reveals the story of the USS Indianapolis and the tragic events that lead to her sinking and the aftermath. The story was little known to me, other than the famous speech by Quint in JAws, but this book opened my eyes to how tramatic this incident was. I became interested in the ship's story after beginning to teach Marine Biology and wanted to learn more about the incident in order to use it as a discussion when the class is dealing with sharks and although the book dealt very little with the actual shark attacks, I was still mesmerized by the story and how it affected the Navy, the captain and all those recovered from the ocean. Great read!
Riveting nonfiction.......2006-02-08
The heavy cruiser Indianapolis sank after being torpedoed, on a Sunday night in 1945. By the time rescue arrived, four days and five nights later, the more than 900 officers and crewman who made it into the water alive had been pared down to just 316 survivors. Sharks, exposure, thirst, injuries from the attack, and delusional behavior took man after man. So did saturated, failing kapok life jackets. The Indianapolis had sailed without destroyer escort, and no one went looking when it failed to reach its destination on schedule because a combat vessel's arrival wasn't recorded by port authorities for wartime security reasons.
Author Newcomb's account of the cruiser's sinking and its survivors' ordeal makes for page-turning reading. The book really becomes wrenching, though, after their rescue. The Navy wasn't about to accept responsibility for having created the situation that first made the ship unusually vulnerable to submarine attack, and then practically guaranteed a long delay (at best) in rescue for those who escaped its sinking. How those above him deliberately went about sacrificing Captain Charles McVay to save their own careers and reputations is just plain terrifying.
Damn That Torpedo.......2004-03-22
As a teenager in the early sixties I caddied for Charlie McVay frequently at the Litchfield Country Club, in Litchfield, CT. We thought then that we knew the story of the sinking of the Indianapolis, and we thought then that we knew the man who had been held responsible for the tragic loss of life, hours before the end of World War II. But it wasn't until Richard Newcomb's Abandon Ship! that any of us who knew McVay were able to understand the Admiral's profound pathos. The military's bungling, its cover-up, its stonewalling, its court martial of an innocent man, culminating in its gross miscarriage of justice, are more often the stuff of fiction. But it wasn't fiction, and Newcomb gives us every damning detail to prove it. Peter Maas provides an afterward showing how McVay was eventually exonerated, 32 years too late to save the the Indianapolis' last victim, my old friend, Admiral McVay, who shot himself to escape his grief. Abandon Ship! is for anyone who values truth, and who is engaged by tragedy.
Tragic Disaster Written With Finesse.......2003-10-17
Excellently written, this book is a page turner. I read it in one day. This is the gripping true account of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and the bizzare chain of events which led to her demise and the lengths in which the United States Navy went to cover up their neglectful mistakes by using the Captain (who managed to survive) as its scapegoat. It is so unfortunate that the courtmartial was so widely publicized, while the overturn and clearing of Captain McVey's name and service record were downplayed to the point of obscurity. At the end of this book, my heart ached for ever single parent, spouse, sister, brother, child, friend/family member of each and every one of those brave men aboard her, and for those who perished and those who survived to endure years of mental anguish at the entire ordeal, the loss of their crewmates and the hours spent in those trecherous waters, forgotten, disregarded and overlooked by the entire Pacific Fleet. My compliments to the author who managed to recount this tragic disaster with such finesse!
Some of the best reading this year.......2003-09-22
Several years ago I read a story abut a high school student whose research was directly responsible for the overturning of a court martial. I then saw a movie with Stacy Keach about the sinking of the BattleShip Indiannapolis. After that I was very interested in finding out more about the "Ship of Doom".
Now having spent 6 great hours devouring every page of this true and gripping novel, I am certain that the miscarriage of justice has been righted. This book is as good as it gets, and for those who have ever served in the Navy, you'll be strolling down memory lane as they book details life aboard a ship.
The book is a true testament and record to those who died and thos that lived. The book is a compelling look at the disaster, how the crew was affected and what happened to everyone, including the captain.
Using actual testimony fromt he court martial, you have a first hand, inside look into how a chain of events can be looked at from several view points. If you are a histry buff, a Navy vet or anyone who loves a good mystery, than this book is certain must have and must read.
Overall you'll be hard pressed to find any better work and this one gets my highest praise and recommendations.

Disaster Daily.............2007-03-02
To truly understand a nation you need to understand how it reacts in defeat as well as victory. This is an excellent study of the former by Peter Thomson. Details of the adversaries on all sides of the conflict help to crystalise the thoughts and pervading attitude and atmosphere that both led to and propagated the greatest catastrophe and capitulation in British military history. The author's description of events, of the fighting retreat, tactics (especially of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, Australian regiments and the Anti-tank and Artillery regiments) ,of the mistakes , mis-handling, bungling and lack of foresight, as well as some of the all too short successes is exilarating reading. The many atrocities covered make the ordinary mortal question the inhumanity of the Japanese Army. More balance might have been achieved by expressing more of the enemy military strategy and better maps would have help in the understanding, but this is nevertheless an outstanding historical read. I chose to read the book in parallel with Colin Smiths book Singapore Burning which developed my understanding . The culpability for the debacle was easily discernible through the narrative and politicians in Britain, Australia and Singapore play their part in this. The desertion, at the end , by the Australian commander General Bennett, all bull and bluster, was only counterbalanced by the extreme bravery of Australian and many other nationalities. It's also fair to say that others deserted Singapore by dereliction and were not brought to book. I strongly recommend this book to anybody interested in WW2 history and the fall of an Empire.

A forgotten tragedy brought back to life.......2007-05-13
In June 1940 Britain's war efforts against Germany were truly on the back foot and the Dunkirk evacuations were in full swing. Only by recovering our troops could we hope to regroup, rearm and then rejoin the fight. Off Normandy, an armada of small boats did an amazing job of work ferrying as many troops as possible safely home to England. Further away, off St. Nazaire a few large ships were also working to that same common cause.
Then, on 17 June 1940, more people died - as one particular troopship was bombed, sunk and then strafed, than on the more famous losses of the Titanic and Lusitania combined. Sadly, apart from the survivors, the relatives of those who perished plus a few divers who visit the wreck, few people have ever heard the name of that ship.
She was the Cunard passenger liner "Lancastria" and in this book the author brings her back to life in a most vivid and poignant fashion.
Nowadays, more and more people are asking questions about what "really" did happen with regard to specific incidents during both world wars - and quite right too. Furthermore, divers have begun to ask all the right questions about the shipwrecks they are visiting. It is accounts, such as this that go a long way towards answering those questions and filling in the gaps created by the historical events which followed the sinking of this once great ship.
Altogether, this is more than just a book about a ship that was lost in dreadful circumstances. With the skills of a consummate wordsmith, author Jonathan Fenby has carefully brought this tragedy back to back to life because people had forgotten it had happened. In so doing, he has created an historical document of great importance - a document which is of great interest to divers and historians alike.
If you really want to know how the Lancastria met her end, this book is possibly the only document you will ever need.
