"This is an eye-opening account of Hitler’s fixation with trying to conquer the Soviet Union versus its response to Germany’s ill-conceived and inadequately planned invasion of Mother Russia."

Robert Forczyk, former tank commander and recognised armoured warfare historian, has produced a compelling and demanding analysis of tank warfare on the Eastern Front up until the end of 1942.

Army Rumour Service

This is a graphic reassessment of the greatest tank war in history. The research is impressive and the resulting book authoritative. There are maps and tables, together with an excellent photo plate section. Everything to commend this book to any reader with an interest in WWII.... The author has covered the first two stages of the battle for the Eastern Front. By taking the invasion date in 1941 to the great battles of 1942, he has been able to take the initial German superiority in equipment, tactics, support and experience and then examine the Russian fight back. In this he has captured the epic scale of this conflict and fairly reviewed both of the opposing sides. This book will long be the standard against which other books on these subjects are measured.
