Product Information
The first history of the Soviet home front experience during World War II and of the civilians who bore the burden of total war and played a critical role in the global victory over fascism. After Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, German troops conquered the heartland of Soviet industry and agriculture and turned the occupied territories into mass killing fields. The country's survival hung in the balance. In Fortress Dark and Stern, Wendy Z. Goldman and Donald Filtzer tell the epic tale of the Soviet home front during World War II. Against the backdrop of the Red Army's early retreats and hard-fought advances after Stalingrad, they present the impact of total war behind the front lines in a chronicle of spirited defense efforts, draconian state directives, teeming black markets, official corruption, and selfless heroism. In one of the greatest wartime feats in history, Soviet workers rapidly evacuated factories, food, and people thousands of miles to the east. After long and dangerous journeys in unheated boxcars, they built a new industrial base beyond the reach of German bombers. As the Soviet state reached the height of its power, imposing military discipline and sending millions of people to work thousands of miles from home, ordinary people withstood starvation, epidemics, and horrific living conditions to supply the front and make the Allied victory possible This book examines the dark and painful war years from a new perspective, telling the stories of evacuees, refugees, teenaged and women workers, runaways from work, prisoners, and deportees. Based on a vast trove of new archival materials, Fortress Dark and Stern reveals a history of suffering, sacrifice, and ultimate triumph largely unknown to Western readers.

Reviews
"Fortress Dark and Stern...depicts in vivid and often horrifying detail what life was like for noncombatants, whose enormous sacrifices supported the army's efforts and contributed to the victory over the Nazis....The fullest story to date of the Soviet home front, of the civilians who lived in dire conditions, often working double and triple shifts and sometimes dropping dead on the factory floor, in order to keep the army and the country going." -- Maria Bloshteyn, Los Angeles Review of Books "This book describes the extraordinary experience of people on the Soviet home front during World War II; specifically the devastating anguish of the war, and Soviet citizens' grim determination to prevail... Much has been published about the wartime Soviet Union since 1991, but this book's forceful style and its use of Soviet sources ensure it will have lasting value in World War II scholarship. The use of personal anecdotes and statistical evidence is laudable." -- Zachary Irwin, formerly with Penn State Behrend, Library Journal "Fortress Dark and Stern presents a definitive social history of the Soviet Union at war. Impeccably researched by two of the most distinguished historians in the field, this book conveys the triumphs and tragedies of what was a total war like no other. It is a major contribution to the study of the Soviet Union and the Second World War." -- Lynne Viola, author of Stalinist Perpetrators on Trial "How did Stalin's Soviet Union claim victory in the Second World War? In Fortress Dark and Stern, two consummate historians at the peak of their powers investigate the Soviet people's epic struggle on the home front to arm, feed, and clothe soldiers who marched against fascism from Stalingrad to Berlin. Based on prodigious archival evidence, memoirs, and new scholarship, this beautifully written book tells a story essential for a new generation of students and citizens." -- Dan Healey, University of Oxford "To be a Soviet civilian during the war with Germany was to strive and to suffer. Many faced bad or impossible choices. Fortress Dark and Stern describes the predicaments, fates, and accomplishments of the millions behind the lines in unforgettable detail." -- Mark Harrison, University of Warwick "Drawing on a vast array of new archival sources, Wendy Goldman and Donald Filtzer offer the most comprehensive account to date of the Soviet Home front during World War II. The authors' novel findings about the role of the Stalinist state during the war will give rise to debates and disagreements among historians. No future study of the Soviet Home front and the Eastern Front generally will be complete without reference to this book." -- Oleg Budnitskii, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow "For decades, historians have debated how the Soviet Union managed to withstand the immense blow dealt by the German invasion in 1941. As Fortress Dark and Stern persuasively argues, it was the home front that assured Soviet survival in 1941 and, ultimately, victory in 1945. Drawing on rich, newly discovered archival materials, this book shines a bright light on the lives and the labor of millions of ordinary citizens, predominantly women, who emerge as the unsung heroes of the Soviet war epic." -- Jochen Hellbeck, Jochen Hellbeck, author of Stalingrad: The City That Defeated the Third Reich, "Fortress Dark and Stern presents a definitive social history of the Soviet Union at war.
