Editorial Reviews

Each short section does an excellent job of providing facts, background information, and historic context in a logical and accessible manner. Brief chapters set off by arresting frontispieces build action, tying together multiple components of the armies on both sides. . . .This is a solid introduction to the turning point of WWII that will nicely supplement world history units.
