'This book is far more than a combat history. It melds social background, individual personalities, doctrine, grand strategy, military life, communications intelligence, politics, economics, and finally tactical movements to show how the Germans beat the Russians in one of the few decisive battles of World War l-the one that started Russia on the slide to ruin and revolution. And-a rarity in military history-it is a pleasure to read.' David Kahn author of 'The Codebreakers'
