520 _aThis book gives a sketch of that Epic Story which is the triumph of the Red Army and the Soviet People in their Great Patriotic War against Fascism (1941-45). As one of History's most tremendous events, it is a story which is particularly relevant to recall when the Fortieth Anniversary of that Victory is being celebrated. There can be no doubt that Soviet Victory in 1945 changed the very climate of the world, ushering in a new era when National Liberation Forces advanced in a qualitatively different atmosphere, there took place an expansion of the area of socialism and international perspectives of freedom, peace and progress for all mankind took on a new character. India's friendship with the Soviet Union which antedates the war. and has developed remarkably since the country's Independence, calls for sensitive understanding of the way the war was fought and won by the Red Army and the Soviet People to the astonishment and applause of mankind. This book is by a well- known Indian scholar who makes no secret of his partisanship with the cause represented by the Soviet Union but who has made an objective effort to bring out the salient elements of a stupendous historical event.
