About this title

Synopsis

Shrouded in obscurity and speculation for more than half a century, the Battle of Kursk finally gets its due in this dramatic retelling of the confrontation that marked the turning point of the war on the Eastern Front and brought Hitler's blitzkrieg to a halt. Glantz is founder and former director of the US Army's Foreign Military Studies Office. House is professor of history at Gordon College. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review

"An outstanding work on one of the most significant battles of World War II."--Journal of Military History

"A good read. Looks at the traditional approach to Kursk and provides another well-founded interpretation of the battle."--Parameters

"The definitive analysis of Kursk. Ranks among the decade's most distinguished works of military history."--Dennis Showalter in the History Book Club Review

"The most detailed, authoritative, and thorough analysis of the massive battle that led to the final victory of the Red Army over the Germans. This outstanding book deserves the highest praise."--Malcolm Mackintosh, author of Juggernaut: A History of Soviet Armed Forces

"The Battle of Kursk combines the authors' encyclopedic knowledge of their subject with a panoramic narrative of military operations to challenge the 'myths of Kursk.ⅅ Drawing heavily upon hitherto classified Soviet material, as well as German sources, the work is both original and revisionist, making it a major contribution to our understanding of one of the most important operations of the Second World War."--John Erickson, author of The Road to Stalingrad

"At last we have an account of the battle of Kursk from the Soviet perspective. And what an account! It is meticulously researched, persuasively argued, full of new and important findings, and written with verve and pathos. This is operational history at its best."--Joel S. A. Hayward, author of Stopped at Stalingrad
