Promoting the study of military history through the art of tabletop miniature wargaming

BOOK REVIEW: Kursk: The Greatest Battle Eastern Front 1943

Author: Lloyd Clark

This mistitled book is about 400 pages, with the first 200 covering the rise of the German military.

The last 200 pages deal with the Kursk battle with reasonable operational and tactical coverage, although overly crammed with dry and somewhat formulaic ‘this unit went here, insert first-person account,’ and then ‘this other unit went there, insert first-person account,’ and rinse and repeat.

It was sometimes heavy slogging through the prose like panzers through minefield belts.
