Being a World War 2 history buff I like to recommend an exceptional read for other folks who share this interest in WW 2 books. Just completed this book and found it very informative and deals with offensives not often discussed in other books. Deals with the Soviet offensives such as Saturn and Little Saturn and also the fighting around the Don area following the loss of Stalingrad by the Germans. A general destruction of german forces sounded promising until General Manstein counterattacked with 3 SS panzer divisions. Well researched contents by the author.
