OT: upcoming Kursk book
Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2015 12:07 am
So, finally, after about fifteen years of waiting (yeah, no kidding), the Christopher Lawrence's "Kursk: The Battle of Prokhorovka" is arriving.
This guy is the president of the Dupuy Institute, so the profesionalism and the attention to detail is absolutely guaranteed.
This is gonna be a little monster of book: 1700 oversized pages, so forget it think in taking it to the bed [:D]:

This is a large book. This is because the amount of unique material collected on the battle was unparalleled, first as part of a U.S. Army funded research project and then as an extended book project. The book includes 29 fold-out maps, 94 maps in the text, 41 charts, graphs and diagrams, 166 tables, 194 statistical sheets covering each engagement, 100 separate sidebars of discussion, 66 German and Soviet commander biographies, and four photo sections with 289 photos. They are drawn from both German and Soviet sources.
