Teaching career[edit]

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

Activity after retirement[edit]

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]
