This book charts the battle's course and aftermath, uncovering the losses suffered by Germany's 'panzer groups' despite their battlefield gains, and the implications of these losses for the German war effort. The author illuminates the inner workings of the German army as well as the experiences of ordinary soldiers, showing that with the Russian winter looming and Soviet resistance still unbroken, victory came at huge cost and confirmed the turning point in Germany's war in the East.
