War on the Eastern Front 1941-

My favorite part of this book was the chapters detailing the use of self-propelled artillery in many of the battles. You don't find this mentioned in many books but it was very deadly on the Russian attacks. Many of the accounts give you the feeling of what it must have been like to be in the battle. I don't know what book Sergio was reading for his review below but he must have had his own agenda when he read it because I didn't notice any of the drivel that he's ranting about. Read it again Sergio, you missed the part between the front and back cover, lol.

Sergio, you are obviously a pawn of the liberal, self-eviscerating academic illuminati that run a majority of the world's history depts. As a reader of a number of James Lucas books, I find that they actually have presented a quite objective view in regards to the typical establishment slander and tripe judgements of history that they have passed down for the last fifty years. After sifting through such garbage as Alan Clark's 'Barbarossa,' Soviet volumes of the "The Patriotic War"(Patriotic with a gun to the back of your head.) and other establishment dogma, a book that may take a perspective outside the mainstream is quite welcome. Sergio, you want to interpret history through blinders and your review only affirms that history will always be distorted and twisted by those who have the ability to command it. Would your wish for an objective view of the Eastern Front if it included information on a worthwhile Italian unit. Wait a minute-there weren't any. Sorry.

Theis book provides very interesting details on subjects rarely addressed on the Russian Front. I loved it. Much has been written about the tanks and infantry, but theis book teaches about the self propelled artillary, the rockets, staying warm, marching, terrain etc!This book is unashamed to detail the bravery, endurance, guile, skill and professionalism of the brave German soldier and his equally brave Russian foe.His writing style is excellent, the chapters and topics are short and sweet.
