This book claims to overthrow common ideas about the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, and the cause of the catastrophic losses of the first months of the war. The author disputes Suvorov`s theory, which states that the soviet army was prepared for offensive, but not for defensive action. Solonin present his version of the beginning of the war with new data and a new interpretation. It took the author fifteen years to collect and analyze data about the two weeks in June 1941. The book received a good review by Viktor Suvorov, who calls it "a scholarly deed".
