The history of the Great Patriotic War is usually understood to be the story of the fighting and the exploits of the soldiers who fought at the front. However, one of the most important factors that allowed the Red Army to hold off the German advance and launch a counteroffensive was the efforts of many people, especially women, teenagers and the elderly who were on the home front during those years. Historians Wendy Goldman and Donald Filzer in their book explore the history of total war behind the front lines. How did the state manage to mobilize all its resources, including labor, in such a short period of time? Was the work of the state agencies responsible for carrying out emergency initiatives effectively organized? What role did official corruption and the black market play in the life of the home front? And how did people manage to survive the horrendous deprivations of hunger, hard labor, and outbreaks of epidemics? Drawing on a vast corpus of recently released archival documents, the authors examine the relationship between the Soviet state and society during this dramatic period, from the German invasion, through the mass evacuation, to the reconstruction of the country. Wendy Goldman is the Paul Mellon Professor Emeritus at Carnegie Mellon University. Donald Filzer is Professor Emeritus at the University of East London.
