This book gives you just a brief overlook in the complex situation on the Balkan in the years 1941-1944. Sides participating in this conflict are just basically mentioned lacking more detailed description, especially of the various auxiliaries forces (chetniks are represented us unifying movement, for example, although there was several fraction inside this movement, some of the parties involved are not mentioned at all). Operation that Germans conducted against guerillas are just briefly mentioned without any detailed explanations, on the tactical levels non what so ever. I was hoping to find something more about Jagdkommando units, but even though author did inform us of the existence of such units, there is nothing about organizations or operations that such units conducted. So it may be a good book if you just begin to research the subject, but if you want to form a full picture you will need further reading.
