Glory Eternal Defense of Odessa 1941

"...based on the diary kept by the Chief of Staff of the Separate Maritime Army on the defense of Odessa in August-October 1941. These military memoirs deal with a comparatively narrow section of the front, which, however, played an important role in frustrating the plans of the German Command. Marshal Krylovs reminiscences are based on factual and documentary material will acquaint the reader with all stages of the fighting for Odessa, with the situation in the besieged city and on the firing lines of the Odessa beachhead... The reader will come to know the names of many soldiers, sailors and commanders of the Soviet Army and Navy units defending the city on the Black Sea."

Overall clean and tight with some minor flaws as follows: Bump to interior bottom pages causing a little dog ear to a small group of pages, spine lightly slanted, small pen note on dust jacket back, dust jacket lightly chipped and torn.
