I think this book is an intense tale of one of WWII most bloodiest battles. Nagorski gives The Battle of Moscow the story it deserves giving the account of the intense fighting, miserable conditions, and fierce betrayals. I recommend this book to all people who love learning of WWII and those people who love a good, intense war story. A one word label for this story would be MASSIVE.
