Glantz had a 30-plus year career in the United States 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 World War II Soviet military history 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] He has been criticized for some of his stylistic choices, such as inventing specific thoughts and feelings of historical figures without reference to documented sources in a review about his book on Operation Mars.[6]
