David M. Glantz (born January 11, 1942) is an American

Born in

U.S. Army War College
.

Glantz had a career of more than 30 years in the

U.S. Army, served in the Vietnam War, and retired as a colonel in 1993.[2]

Teaching career

Glantz was a Mark W. Clark visiting professor of History at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina.[3]

Activity after retirement

Glantz is known as a military historian of the Soviet role in World War II.[4]

He has argued that the view of the

Soviet Union's involvement in the war has been prejudiced in the West, which relies too much on German oral and printed sources without being balanced by a similar examination of Soviet source material.[5] Fellow historian Jonathan Haslam, in a review about his book on Operation Mars, criticized him for some of his stylistic choices, such as hypothetical thoughts and feelings of historical figures apart from references to documented sources.[6]
