Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-294) and index.
The main theme of the book is about troop movements, engagements and captured cities etc but the author also talks about the German generals and especially Hitler. His comments of these leaders are poignant and ring true. I didn't realize Hitler micro managed to an unbelievable degree that made it impossible to command your army. There is info on Bock, Guderian, Hoth, Kluge, and others you will find interesting. The author closes with his assessment of the German Army and why they lost the battle. There are only a couple maps and they're modest but are of some value. Concise and accurate one volume account of Operations Barbarossa and Typhoon from their start until the Soviet winter counterattck in February of 42. Seaton, as mentioned in a previous review, minces no words in expressing how he feels about the blunders of both the German and Soviet stratgists.
