Title: good overview of the battle
Review: Osprey does its usual excellent job in this short manual, an overview of the buildup to the battle of Kursk, the battle itself, and then a short capsule on its meaning and aftermath.Osprey's long suit has always been outstanding graphics, a wealth of detailed illustrations and pictures, and maps that you can actually use and refer to while reading the text, and this volume is up to that standard. The text itself, though short, is remarkably balanced and sober, and the battle comes to life in an almost day-by-day account once it is kicked off. Meanwhile, we get short looks at the opposing armies, strategies, leaders, and weaponry, as well as the general grand strategic situation during the summer of 1943.For a short treatment, this volume does an excellent job of getting the reader to understand generally what went on, and why.
