Together this book and Beevor's Stalingrad, first published in 1998, have sold nearly three million copies.
Picked this up in a fleeting visit to the local library. First ww2 novel I’ve read focused on the German/Russian conflict packed with lots of detail on both sides. Enjoyed it. Well written without becoming a slog though took a while to get through.
