The men HEROES OF THE SOVIET UNION came out in October 2004 and I heard that it is selling well. I wish I could have included alot more Heroes, but I was limited by Osprey's cookie-cutter format. So what I had to do was to sit down and try to add variety...from Heroes involved in hand-to-hand combat, to Partisans, snipers, spies, etc.
I made a major blunder in HEROINES OF THE SOVIET UNION, in the Introduction, paragraph 4 where I wrote..."His wife, Nadezhda Krupskaya..." Actually, it should have been ..."Lenin's wife!" Stalin's wife committed suicide. My fault 100%. If you find any errors, but sure to post it here for all to see. No matter how hard one tries, errors still crop up.
I know some of you are budding writers and Osprey is always looking for new authors. Unfortunately, they pay $4800 and they own the copyright. If you have a good paying day job, love to write, and have some knowledge in your particular field, you might want to consider them. I'm a hobby writer, so it fit right in.
Some titles that I would like to see: Marshals of the Soviet Union; Heroes of Khalkan Gol and Lake Khassan; Heroes of the Winter War, Kosomol and Pioneer Heroes of the Great Patriotic War; Sniper Heroes, Soviet Heroes of the Afghan War; Soviet Field Medics of the Great Patriotic War, etc.
Thank you very much!
