This is a massive collection of photographic records of battlefield,soldiers and civilians at nazi-russia war times. It seems that most of the photos may never have been introduced or published before.They're very vivid,captions are accurate and to the point. But I think all photo captions are too brief to understand the whole process of war.Scarcely any other explanatory texts are. It makes this book not a history work but only a kind of war photo album. It may leave serious readers something to be desired,I sure. But if you have had carell's other works,this book can be a useful pictorial guide to them. Even if main text is very poor,all photos match well with military history are worth seeing.
