| Review by David M. Glantz, Editor, The Journal of Slavic Military Studies, March 1999. | "The genuine value of these books and the interest they are bound to generate among specialists and general readers alike argue for their wider dissemination. The books should be made available to the wider audience they so richly deserve." David M. Glantz, Editor, The Journal of Slavic Military Studies, March 1999. | |
| Review by Leslie Blanchard, Editor, A Writers' Choice Literary Journal, April 1999. | "The topic has been neglected by historians in the West, and Cottam's books have done much to rectify the situation.
