- Summary:
- The battle at Kursk in 1943 is often referred to as the greatest tank battle in the history of warfare. This volume makes extensive use of German archival documents as well as various Russian books and articles. It attempts to answer such questions as what forces were actually engaged; how were they equipped; what were their capabilities; and what was the cost of the battle. The book also addresses methodological issues, applicable not only to this battle, but to other battles in World War II.
