"For Hitler and the German military, 1942 was a key turning point of World War II, as an overstretched but still lethal Wehrmacht replaced brilliant victories and huge territorial gains with stalemates and strategic retreats. In this major reevaluation of that crucial year, Robert More ... Citino shows that the German army's emerging woes were rooted as much in its addiction to the war of movement--attempts to smash the enemy in short and lively campaigns--as they were in Hitler's deeply flawed management of the war."--Publisher description.
