Review
"Mitcham has provided an extremely valuable service to the general reader of military history. The magnitude of the struggle on the Eastern Front was so great that it defies any attempt to condense the action to a meaningful narration for the general reader. Through Mitcham's describing the events as the individual German commanders saw them and reacted to the Soviet attacks, the reader becomes intimately involved. Numerous charts, tables, maps, and appendices are included for those who want more detail, but the narrative flows in a smooth fashion in highly readable and dramatic prose."-Walter Dunn author of Hitler's Nemesis and Kursk
