Negative Positive
Title: Worthless
Review: This volume is completely unreadable. The majority of the text is written in the form of quick diary notes commenting on some particular topic of the day. Next day's notes might concern a completely unrelated issue. Then there could be an inexplicable gap of a few days with no entries in the diary at all. There is no sense of continuity of events. The book does not present even one map - how one can discuss military operations without maps is a mystery to me. On top of all that, the editor has done a terrible job too. The introductory essay as well as the subsequent chapters is riddled with grammatical mistakes, making the book even more unbearable.Unfortunately, none of the above becomes immediately apparent upon quick look at the book, which is beautifully bound, has great paper and exquisite selection of fonts.Mind you, I am not suggesting that Fedor von Bock himself is not a fascinating commander - he may very well be, but there is no way of telling from this book.
