Glantz is regarded by many as one of the best military historians of the Soviet role in World War II. He is perhaps most associated with the thesis that World War II Soviet military history has been prejudiced in the West by its over-reliance on German oral and printed sources, without being balanced by a similar examination of Soviet source material. A more complete version of this thesis can be found in his paper “The Failures of Historiography: Forgotten Battles of the German-Soviet War (1941-1945)” ^[1]

Glantz is also known as an opponent of Viktor Suvorov's thesis, which he endeavoured to rebut with the book Stumbling Colossus. Viktor Suvorov (; real name Vladimir Rezun : ) (born April 20, 1947) is a Russian writer and historian. ...

He lives with his wife Mary Ann Glantz in Carlisle, PA. Glantz' daughter Mary E. Glantz, also a historian, has written FDR And The Soviet Union: The President's Battles Over Foreign Policy (ISBN 070061365X).
