mightync's review against another edition
4.0
Though the battle at Kursk didn't start until half way through the book, it was a very well thought out narrative and, in fact, I enjoyed getting a little background information on the lead up to the Battle of the Tanks. I particularly enjoyed hearing descriptions of the fighting by the actual participants from entries from their journals and memoirs throughout the book. Once those tank battles started it became quite action-packed and exhilarating to read. This is the only book I've read about Kursk and it was so good that it will probably be the last.
