E-raamat: Violence and Occupation: The Red Army in the Balkans and Central Europe, 1944-1945

'This important book offers a fresh and much-needed perspective on the intertwined histories of sexual violence, war crimes, military law and discipline in the Red Army. With its ambitious geographic scope and rich source baseincluding largely untapped NKVD recordsViolence and Occupation will be required reading for historians of the Second World War.' Ruth Lawlor, co-editor of The Greater Second World War 'Violence and Occupation: The Red Army in the Balkans and Central Europe, 1944-1945 is a tour de force, the foremost book on the Red Army's move into the Balkans in 1944-1945. Moreover, Majstorovic's comparative approach offers radical new insights into the sexual violence wrought by Soviet troops.' Matthew Lenoe, author of The Kirov Murder and Soviet History 'While the actions of the Red Army entering Nazi Germany are well-known, Majstorovic's masterful account of rapacity, indiscipline, and violence in the Soviet march through Eastern Europe brilliantly fills a glaring gap in the scholarship. A deeply researched and sophisticated analysis of the devastating effects of occupation on Hitler's erstwhile allies.' Edward B. Westermann, author of Drunk on Genocide: Alcohol and Mass Murder in Nazi Germany
