Masterly ... a vivid account

A dramatic and exciting tale ... His set-piece descriptions of such
visions of Hell as Stalingrad, the 900-day siege of Leningrad and
the crucial battle of Kursk are as fascinating as they are
horrifying

Overy is a first-class military historian ... He writes concisely
and says what he means to say ... Now, we have an authoritative
British account that understands both sides, without illusions

Excellent ... Overy tackles this huge, complex and multifaceted
story with the vital gifts of clarity and brevity
*Literary Review*
