Operation Don's Left Wing - The Trans-Caucasus Front's Pursuit of the First Panzer Army, November 1942-February 1943 - David M. Glantz

On 1 January 1943, with German Sixth Army about to be destroyed in the Stalingrad pocket, the Stavka (Soviet High Command) launched Operation Don, a strategic offensive aimed at demolishing German defenses in the southern Soviet Union. This book is the first detailed study of this crucial but virtually overlooked Soviet military operation.
