The Defence Of Moscow

The Defence of Moscow (1969) by Geoffrey Jukes – MacDonald

Geoffrey Jukes’ The Defence of Moscow is a brisk, authoritative account of one of World War II’s most pivotal moments—the Nazi push on the Soviet capital in 1941 and the Red Army’s ferocious stand that turned the tide. Originally published in 1969, this book delivers maps, strategy, and just enough grim frostbite detail to make you reach for a blanket. Jukes doesn’t romanticise—it’s gritty, precise military history with a distinct Cold War lens.

Our copy? Slightly musty, faintly heroic, and possibly last opened during the Brezhnev era. A true Cold War classic, with emphasis on the "cold."
