When Titans Clashed offers a comprehensive Soviet-perspective account of how the Red Army stopped Hitler, tracing the German–Soviet war across the Eastern Front from 1941–1945. Drawing on formerly classified Soviet sources, the narrative places massive offensives and counteroffensives—Operation Barbarossa, the sieges and decisive battles from Moscow and Leningrad to Stalingrad and Kursk, and the 1943–44 Soviet advances—within their wider political, economic, and social contexts, and reexamines operational art, mobilization, logistics, and high-command decision-making to challenge and revise traditional Western views of the conflict.
Part of the Modern War Studies series and authored by David M. Glantz and Jonathan M. House, the book is richly documented with numerous operational and campaign maps, order-of-battle data, tables of losses and production figures, and black-and-white photographs, making it both a detailed reference for scholars and an accessible strategic overview for general readers.

New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
