Kursk ..... finally explained [Posted on 2005-09-15]
Col. Glantz and Mr. House have finally defined the Battle of Kursk in a thoughtful, engaging and methodical approach. More accessible than George Nipe's very good work on Kursk, this is probably the best book on the definitive battle of the Russian Front. A serious, well-researched study.

Rough riding but informative, 2.5 stars. [Posted on 2006-03-01]
I agree with another poster who said this book is a bombardment of facts and figures without much readability. If you are looking for facts and figures, check it out; if you are looking for something resembling a story or something more than barely adequate structure to impart wads of information, this probably isn't your bag.

Glantz finest work to date [Posted on 2006-05-15]
Well first of all book is huuge it's 485 pages. Not 300. Amazon really has to make a correction on previous review by Mr. Top 500.
Mr. Glantz is a top rated western historian on eastern front for one simple reason he has connection to people who's got access to russian archives (No westerner has a direct access to russian archives yet). "The Battle of Kursk" is a serious analytical work and surely can't be missed by anyone who is interested in the battle that changed the tide of the World War II.

Great, detailed account [Posted on 2006-11-20]
This book MUST be owned by any serious military history reader of WWII. The detail, and the maps are unparalleled. The maps are especially impressive, and allow you to follow the account of the battle totally. I look forward to more such books by the author. Just a word of caution, this is not a book about the "human interest" side of the battle; nor is it intended for the casual reader.

outstanding study of complex battle [Posted on 2008-04-11]
The Battle of Kursk was an important battle in the summer of 1943 on the Eastern Front of World War II. Using both Russian and German sources, the authors describe the battle with great care.
A fine example of how a complex battle should be described.
