Negative Positive
Title: Written like he was being chased by a T-34
Review: One of the worst pieces of writing I've seen since gradeschool. Kershaw repeats phrases and quotes repeatedly. Often, he'll quote some soldier's account, then, later, use the same quote as a sub-chapter title, and still later, have the quote again as a caption to a photograph. And don't get me started on the photographs! He says most of the photos are from his own collection. Well, he should have kept his collection to himself. These are some of the worst taken pictures I've seen, so grainy that they must have been blow-ups from microscopic negatives. The only useful data was the statistical information he provides on combat unit attrition. Now, I'm off to find the source of his statistical information - that would be worth reading!
