Another New David Glantz 2010 Smolensk

Aside from the quality of the maps, To the Gates of Stalingrad was an engrossing read. Lots of good info on largely forgotten soviet counteroffensives and a debunking of the common story that the soviets just faded back to stalingrad - they fought the whole way (but managed to avoid the massive encirclements of 1941)

The coverage of Army Group A and the caucasuses is good, but left me lacking a sense of conclusion - it must get picked up in the 3rd book

should get Armageddon in Stalingrad tomorrow or Thursday from Amazon
