This volume is an in-depth study of the largest battle of World War II. In two weeks in July 1943 the German army suffered its greatest defeat. The battle of Stalingrad had resulted in stalemate. Hitler ordered all his armour to the Eastern Front to destroy the Russians at Kursk. In what is regarded as the greatest battle ever fought, the Russian army was victorious. It was a crucial turning point in the war.

Review: Well-written and interesting. The author sets the battle in context and explains the high level decision making on both sides. The battle itself is well described and explained, from the point of view of the soldiers doing the fighting to the generals giving the orders on both sides. The main negative is the lack of maps which makes it difficult to follow the events as they are described.
