To clarify,
that was my term, not the authors. I was jumping to this conclusion: "Every general/commander--who had bad news--ended up getting shot by the NKVD. Because, there wasn't a lot of good news coming from the front during that time, it was all mostly really bad, and as it turns out, hundreds of thousands of officers were indeed getting shot because of the lack of good news. It was what it was: a Purge.
Everyone please calm down. We're learning a lot about a very controversial topic.
