Specificatii
Stuart Goldman convincingly argues that a little-known, but intense
Soviet-Japanese conflict along the Manchurian-Mongolian frontier at
Nomonhan influenced the outbreak of World War II and shaped the
course of the war. The author draws on Japanese, Soviet, and
western sources to put the seemingly obscure conflict--actually a
small undeclared war-- into its proper global geo-strategic
perspective. The book describes how the Soviets, in response to a
border conflict provoked by Japan, launched an offensive in August
1939 that wiped out the Japanese forces at Nomonhan. At the same
time, Stalin signed the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, allowing
Hitler to invade Poland. The timing of these military and
diplomatic strikes was not coincidental, according to the author.
In forming an alliance with Hitler that left Tokyo diplomatically
isolated, Stalin succeeded in avoiding a two-front war. He saw the
pact with the Nazis as a way to pit Germany against Britain and
France, leaving the Soviet Union on the sidelines to eventually
pick up the spoils from the European conflict, while at the same
time giving him a free hand to smash the Japanese at Nomonhan.
Goldman not only demonstrates the linkage between the Nomonhan
conflict, the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, and the outbreak of
World War II, but also shows how Nomonhan influenced Japan s
decision to go to war with the United States and thus change the
course of history. The book details Gen. Georgy Zhukov s brilliant
victory at Nomonhan that led to his command of the Red Army in 1941
and his success in stopping the Germans at Moscow with
reinforcements from the Soviet Far East. Such a strategy was
possible, the author contends, only because of Japan s decision not
to attack the Soviet Far East but to seize the oil-rich Dutch East
Indies and attack Pearl Harbor instead. Goldman credits Tsuji
Masanobu, an influential Japanese officer who instigated the
Nomonhan conflict and survived the debacle, with urging his
superiors
