Immense in scope, ferocious in nature, and epic in consequence, the
Battle of Kursk witnessed (at Prokhorovka) one of the largest tank
engagements in world history and led to staggering losses--including
nearly 200,000 Soviet and 50,000 German casualties within the first ten
days of fighting. Going well beyond all previous accounts, David Glantz
and Jonathan House now offer the definitive work on arguably the
greatest battle of World War II.
Drawing on both German and Soviet
sources, Glantz and House separate myth from fact to show what really
happened at Kursk and how it affected the outcome of the war. Their
access to newly released Soviet archival material adds unprecedented
detail to what is known about this legendary conflict, enabling them to
reconstruct events from both perspectives and describe combat down to
the tactical level.
The Battle of Kursk takes readers
behind Soviet lines for the first time to reveal what the Red Army knew
about the plans for Hitler's offensive (Operation Citadel), relive tank
warfare and hand-to-hand combat, and tell how the tide of battle
turned. Its vivid portrayals of fighting in all critical sectors places
the famous tank battle in its proper context. Prokhorovka here is not a
well-organized set piece but a confused series of engagements and hasty
attacks, with each side committing its forces piecemeal.
Glantz
and House's fresh interpretations demolish many of the myths that
suggest Hitler might have triumphed if Operation Citadel had been
conducted differently. Theirs is the first account to provide accurate
figures of combat strengths and losses, and it includes 32 maps that
clarify troop and tank movements.
Shrouded in obscurity and
speculation for more than half a century, the Battle of Kursk finally
gets its due in this dramatic retelling of the confrontation that
marked the turning point of the war on the Eastern front and brought
Hitler's blitzkrieg to a crashing halt.
