  • Collection of Materials for Studies of the World War II Experience=Sbornik materialov po izucheniiu opyta voiny. Minneapolis, MN : East View Publications, c2004.
    The 26-volume set on this CD served as the cornerstone of modern Soviet military art. Prepared by the Military History Section [Directorate] of the Red Army's General Staff during and immediately after the Great Patriotic War, this series of analyses was the single most important vehicle for imparting the emerging lessons of the war to Soviet officers. Editors included the biggest names in Soviet military science at the time, such as P. P. Yechnyi and E. A. Shilovskii. Probably no other series looks at strategy and operational art in such a fresh and critical light as does this one. Descriptions, commentary and analyses are straightforward and untainted by ideology. Most volumes are richly illustrated with maps and tables, and usually also contain a bibliography section in which other secret and top-secret books and periodicals are reviewed and described. Every fifth issue contains a detailed subject index to the preceding five volumes. Save for a few copies which were captured by the Germans in 1943 and later recaptured by the Allies, most of these volumes have never before been available to Western researchers.

  • Collection of Military Operational Documents of the Great Patriotic War, 1941-1945=Sbornik boevykh dokumentov Velikoi Otechestvennoi voiny 1941-1945. Minneapolis, MN : East View Publications, c2004. 2 CDs.
    This collection contains the most critical directives and orders from Stavka, the USSR's Supreme Command during the war, as well as combat documents detailing the activities of all branches and types of Soviet forces. It is arranged according to subject (i.e., artillery, mechanized forces), battle and period of the war. The 43-volume set is primarily an archival collection with little analysis or commentary, and was assembled by the Archive of the Ministry of Defense under the direction of the General Staff's Directorate on the Study of the War Experience (and later, the Military Science Directorate). Most of the more than 8,000 documents are classified secret or top secret. It is by far the largest and most comprehensive Soviet documentary series on the war, and continues to be widely used by military analysts and planners in Russia. Volume 5, one of the most cited sources in contemporary Soviet military writings on the use of armored forces, contains a number of top-secret Stavka materials.

  • Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)=Grazhdanskaia voina v Ispanii (1936-1939). Minneapolis, MN : East View Publications, c2004
    This CD collection (9 books totalling 1,290 pages) includes exceptionally valuable analytical publications by Soviet military devoted to the Civil War in Spain. Soviet involvement in this war on the side of the Republicans was very substantial and Moscow advisers had direct access to the most sensitive political and military information. This information and its analytical evaluation are presented in the books from this collection, which were published from 1937 to 1940 during the course of the war. All but two of them were until recently classified. The bulk of this collection is the three-volume edition "The War in Spain" published by the USSR People's Commissariat of Defense. Two books were prepared by the Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Red Army. A monograph on the capture of Catalonia by Franco's army was published by the Academy of the General Staff. The battle for Madrid and the Guadalahara victory of the Republican Army are covered in two other books by the People's Commissariat of Defense.
