"In just four weeks in the summer of 1941 the German Wehrmacht wrought unprecedented
destruction on four Soviet armies, conquering central Ukraine and killing or capturing
three quarters of a million men. This was the Battle of Kiev - one of the largest
and most decisive battles of World War II and, for Hitler and Stalin, a battle of
crucial importance. For the first time, David Stahel charts the battle's dramatic
course and aftermath, uncovering the irreplaceable losses suffered by Germany's 'panzer
groups' despite their battlefield gains, and the implications of these losses for
the German war effort. He illuminates the inner workings of the German army as well
as the experiences of ordinary soldiers, showing that with the Russian winter looming
and Soviet resistance still unbroken, victory came at huge cost and confirmed the
turning point in Germany's war in the East"--
