Review of 'Kharkov 1942' on 'Goodreads'

This book was my introduction to David Glantz when it first came out in 1998. It's a scholarly examination of the (then) newly declassified Soviet post-battle analysis of the operation that resulted in the 2nd Battle of Kharkov. A prelude to the Battle of Stalingrad that resulted in a massive Soviet defeat.

While I wouldn't recommend it for someone with just a casual interest, it's a rewarding read for anyone with a more serious interest in Eastern Front operations during WWII.
