Description

The Greatest Battle: Eastern Front 1943 On 5th July 1943, the largest land battle in history began around Kursk in Russia, marking a pivotal moment in the Second World War. This brutal confrontation between German and Soviet forces was a defining moment of 'total war', resulting in staggering losses on both sides. The battle's aftermath saw Germany suffer nearly three million casualties, while the Soviet Union lost ten million. Lloyd Clark's account of this epic encounter draws on the latest available archival material, including the testimonies of veterans, to provide a nuanced and compelling narrative. By combining strategic perspective with personal stories of front-line fighting, Clark brings to life the intense and often brutal nature of this pivotal battle. This book offers a fresh and gripping perspective on one of the most significant military engagements of the 20th century, shedding light on the human cost and strategic significance of the Battle of Kursk.
