This is an incredible publishing event, 32 years in preparation, by the
author and team that had special access to Soviet Military Archives and
interviews with Soviet veterans and historians. Plus he made full use of the
captured German archives and those in Germany. The content is limited to a deep
analysis of the southern front during the battle around Kursk, but it includes
also the air war, not usually included in books. Well there are no similar
books, and most rely on copying each other.
