The illustrated history of Germany's Eastern European campaign documents a four-year struggle of epic proportions, beginning with Operation Barbarossa-Germany's surprise attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941-and ending with the fall of Berlin in 1945. A year-by-year history, along with archival photography and color maps and drawings, dissect SS tactics along the 2,000-mile front, while illustrating the strategies and comparing German weaponry and equipment with that of the Red Army. Major events like the siege of Leningrad, the trek to Moscow in the dead of winter, the Soviet push to Berlin, and more are all examined in detail, as are leading figures in the campaign. An essential and complete look at the eastern half of Nazi Germany's flawed two-front strategy. '

This review is from: The Eastern Front: Barbarossa, Stalingrad, Kursk and Berlin (Campaigns of World War II) (The Campaigns of World War II) (Hardcover)
I would actually rate this book 3 1/2 stars. The first several chapters are amateurish and somewhat simplistically boring. However, the later chapters do provide some intersting facts about the conflict. Basic German strategy and intersting information on Soviet adjustment to the onslaught is presented in an easy-to-read narrative. There are pleanty of good pictures and some are in color. There are also drawings of some of the most important tanks, planes, etc involved. Although there were maps, I wish there would have been more! Overall, this is a good entry-level book on the subject.
