Books by Walter S. Dunn

This book traces the development of the Russian Army in reaction to the rise of Hitler. The Russians, as this book establishes, won because they had better organization and equipment--i.e., a better and more effective army.

The battle of Kursk was the last major German offensive on the Eastern Front. Based on recently declassified Russian information and an analysis of captured German records, this book gives a detailed description of both the German and Soviet forces involved and evaluates the quality of the units on both sides.

In this book, historian Walter Dunn reveals the true nature of the conflicting interests on the frontier, demonstrating that the primary issues there, land and the fur trade, were, in fact, the basis of the conflict between the local colonists and Britain.

When a German victory became impossible, the July 1944 conspirators plotted to bring a quick end to the war, hoping to negotiate a peace with the Western allies and possibly to join them in a war against Russia.

Had the army been more astute in protecting colonial interests, colonial merchants might have been more favorable toward paying taxes in support of military efforts. Frontier commerce was a major component of the colonial economy, ranking third in export behind tobacco and rice.
