5th July 1943: the greatest land battle of all time began around
the town of Kursk in Russia. This epic confrontation between German
and Soviet forces was one of the most important military
engagements in history and epitomised 'total war'.It was also one
of the most bloody, characterised by hideous excess and outrageous
atrocities. The battle concluded with Germany having incurred
nearly three million dead and the Soviet Union a staggering ten
million. It was a monumental and decisive encounter of breathtaking
intensity which became a turning point, not only on the Eastern
Front, but in the Second World War as a whole. Using the very
latest available archival material including the testimonies of
veterans and providing strategic perspective alongside personal
stories of front line fighting, Lloyd Clark has written a lucid,
enthralling and heart-stopping account of this incredible battle.
