Title: A "must" for the student of the Second World War
Product review: I found the translation of the Soviet General Command Staff Study "The Battle for Kursk 1943" to be the best source of material on this pivital battle of WW2. Glanzt and Orenstein have done a masterful job in retaining the truely important information, while filtering out the the Soviet propaganda that usually creeps into Soviet material.The serious student would be well advised to pay paticular attention to the sections dealing with air operations, engineering support, and command and control sections.The maps and tables detailing positions and correlation of forces were paticularly informative.The only critism that I would offer is that the maps need to be expanded. Althought the editors did a good job, in relation to other military histories, they could greatly improve their work with the addition of a large fold-out map detailing the area under study.
