New Chronology of the Catastrophe of 1941

A new book by the leading military historian. Continuation of the bestseller “On the peacefully sleeping airfields…”. A detailed reconstruction of Soviet aviation combat operations in the first weeks of the war—day by day, hour by hour. A NEW CHRONOLOGY OF THE CATASTROPHE of 1941. After discovering and putting into academic circulation a huge volume of primary documents—thousands of pages!—and analyzing them from the standpoint of a meticulous historian-researcher and a professional aviation specialist, Mark Solonin definitively and irrevocably destroys the “house of cards” of traditional historiography, leaving no stone unturned in debunking propagandist myths about the “Stalin’s falcons” and revealing the true reasons for the monstrous defeat of the Soviet Air Force.
