### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I just don’t know how he does it.
  

*by O***G on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 November 2020*

I have now read so many of James Holland’s books that if I am honest I have lost count. Why? Simple, full of content, personal accounts, views from both sides in short how military books should be written. I have read so many military history books where they are hard to follow, just full of facts and find I have to put them down frequently and push myself to come back to and try an continue. I cannot put down a James Holland book. Sir my compliments.

    Well-researched and well-written but would have benefited from better-place maps.
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 September 2020*

James Holland tells a complicated story with ease; and this is a complicated story, especially if you are unfamiliar with the territory. There are a good number of - rather complicated - maps  but they are not placed with the narrative to which they relate, nor are there any references from the text to the maps. Likewise the thumbnail portraits of the principal characters are grouped together at the start of the book rather than placed against the text with which they are introduced to the narrative. These are design issues and do not detract greatly from the research and writing which, as always, are first class. The principal characters are well described and the story is told with humanity. The author endeavours to correct what he perceives to have been previous unfair criticism of the way in which the campaign was run, adding new perspective and further food for thought. Overall, an excellent account, if somewhat heavy going for those who do not take the trouble to study the territory.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An excellent book written covering both sides of a conflict that was a turning point in WW2.
  

*by K***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 October 2020*

How refreshing to read a book where the story is told through the eyes of all the participants not just by those running the show. In this book we get both sides of the conflict as well an understanding of the management of each of the participants. In addition we get individual personal snapshots throughout the conflict at both high and low levels. The story is well documented with maps and photographs that cover events in great detail. A really excellent book covering a very significant point in WW2 that has been largely ignored. Well done.
