I have purchased this one as well. I find this book a bit too academic, not easy read by any means. I've put it aside after 32 pages in favor of another book I picked at same order: Blood Red Snow -- me***rs of German soldier on Eastern Front.
I just took that book in hands to look trough photos and simply can't stop reading it for 3rd day. Anybody who is interested in WW2 will enjoy it big time. I’m still at Stalingrad battle part of it and it is blast to read!
The only other book that is still beats it: “From Stalingrad to Dnepr”. Post soviet me***rs of Russian soldier. That is most horror book I ever read about the war. Interesting thing from that book, the author says that it was such a fierce battle of Kursk, that a thunderstorm clouds with rain appear over the front line (curved same way as fight line was) while it was clear sky everywhere else. Fascinating reading.
