But he only looks towards the German side,the Germans were the ones that suffered the cold, the mud, and the attacking waves of the Soviet infantry which they beat off every time.
Although this book is several years old and does't include information from the soviet archives which came to light in the 90s, it remains a classic of World War literature due to its excellent narrative and the objective analysis.
Carell not only describes the battles after Kursk, but also presents the hidden facts behind the great German defeats and how the fieldmarshals and generals of the Wehrmacht were continiously deceived by the Red Army planners and fell in their traps with disastrous consequences.
