OSTKRIEG: HITLER’ S WAR OF EXTERMINATION IN THE EAST
Book ID/图书代码： 13012015B78026
English Summary/英文概要： On June 22, 1941, Germany launched the greatest land assault in history on the Soviet Union, an attack that Adolf Hitler deemed crucial to ensure German economic and political survival. As the key theater of the war for the Germans, the eastern front consumed enormous levels of resources and accounted for 75 percent of all German casualties. Despite the significance of this campaign to Germany and to the war as a whole, few English-language publications of the last thirty-five years have addressed these pivotal events.
In Ostkrieg: Hitler’s War of Extermination in the East, Stephen G. Fritz bridges the gap in scholarship by incorporating historical research from the last several decades into an accessible, comprehensive, and coherent narrative. His analysis of the Russo-German War from a German perspective covers all aspects of the eastern front, demonstrating the interrelation of military events, economic policy, resource exploitation, and racial policy that first motivated the invasion. This in-depth account challenges accepted notions about World War II and promotes greater understanding of a topic that has been neglected by historians.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1941年6月22日，德国对(前)苏联发动了历史上规模最大的地面进攻——阿道夫·希特勒认为，这场进攻对于确保德国在经济与政治上的存续至关重要。作为德军战争的关键战场，东线战场消耗了巨量资源，并占德军总伤亡人数的75%。尽管这场战役对德国乃至整个战争都具有重大意义，但在过去三十五年间，英文出版物中鲜有作品探讨这些关键事件。在《东线战事：希特勒的东方灭绝战》一书中，斯蒂芬·G·弗里茨通过将过去数十年的历史研究成果融入一部通俗易懂、全面且连贯的叙事体系，填补了相关学术研究领域的空白。他从德国视角对苏德战争进行的分析涵盖了东线战场的所有维度，揭示了军事行动、经济政策、资源开发与种族政策之间的内在关联——正是这些因素最初促成了此次入侵。这部深度研究著作对二战领域既有的认知提出了挑战，有助于学界更深入地理解这一长期被历史学家忽视的研究课题。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：「斯蒂芬·弗里茨发表了一项重要论断：尽管已有众多著作探讨东线战事，亦有大量著述聚焦暴行、屠杀及大屠杀事件，但迄今尚无任何一部著作尝试将二者相结合——即探寻军事行动与大规模屠杀之间的内在关联。本书最终呈现的是一部关于德苏战争的完整史著，其完备性堪称理想典范，这一成就在相当长一段时间内恐难被超越。」

"Stephen Fritz has made a major statement. There are many books dealing with military operations in the East and many others that highlight the atrocities, the murders, and the Holocaust. Not until now has a single volume attempted to incorporate both, seeking the nexus between military operations and mass murder. The result is as complete a history of the German-Soviet war as one could desire, and it is an achievement that is likely to be unequaled for some time to come."―Robert M. Citino, author of Death of the Wehrmacht: The German Campaigns of 1942
"Fritz has written a top-flight strategic/operational level analysis of the Russo-German War. His text is solid and impeccably supported."―Dennis Showalter, author of Hitler’s Panzers: The Lightning Attacks that Revolutionized Warfare
"Of all the hundreds of books on the Russian campaign, Mr. Fritz’s is the first I have seen that demonstrates the nexus between mass murder and military operations."―Washington Times
"Stephen Fritz brought to his sources his considerable analytical skills and clarity of expression. The product is a very readable consideration of the European war’s most important front, and one that expresses a new understanding of its causes and effects."―New York Journal of Books
"Fritz seeks to synthesize and build upon earlier scholarship while exclusively focusing on the struggle as seen from Berlin. . . . Ostkrieg will be a significant addition to any academic library."―Choice
"It is truly a magnificent work of military history integrating ideological, economic, political, and military dimensions of this theater of war."―Waterline
"Perfect for instructors and students."―Teaching History
"An ambitious and impressive synthesis of two vast and often mutually exclusive fields of scholarship: the historiography of the Holocaust and that of the war on the Eastern Front. He does an admirable job of detailing the operational level of warfare with excellent insights into the strategic and tactical aspects of the war. Fritz provides an outstanding contribution to the fields of military and Holocaust historiography. [It] should serve as the starting point for all historians and students of World War II interested in the relationship of war and genocide."―Journal of Military History

"We are given a superb vantage point from which to view how the Nazi regime’s obsessions trapped Germany into ultimately fatal dilemmas."―Historian
