On July 5, 1943, the greatest land battle in history began when
Nazi and Red Army forces clashed near the town of Kursk, on the
western border of the Soviet Union. Code named "Operation Citadel,"
the German offensive would cut through the bulge in the eastern
front that had been created following Germany's retreat at the
battle of Stalingrad. But the Soviets, well-informed about
Germany's plans through their network of spies, had months to
prepare. Two million men supported by 6,000 tanks, 35,000 guns, and
5,000 aircraft convened in Kursk for an epic confrontation that was
one of the most important military engagements in history, the
epitome of "total war." It was also one of the most bloody, and
despite suffering seven times more casualties, the Soviets won a
decisive victory that became a turning point in the war. With
unprecedented access to the journals and testimonials of the
officers, soldiers, political leaders, and citizens who lived
through it, The Battle of the Tanks is the definitive account of an
epic showdown that changed the course of history.
