Book ID/图书代码： 06580010B40915
English Summary/英文概要： A monumental, enthralling work charting the greatest land battle of all time which changed the course of World War Two, by a highly regarded military expert
5th July 1943: the greatest land battle of all time began around the town of Kursk in Russia. This epic confrontation between German and Soviet forces was one of the most important military engagements in history and epitomised ’total war’.It was also one of the most bloody, characterised by hideous excess and outrageous atrocities. The battle concluded with Germany having incurred nearly three million dead and the Soviet Union a staggering ten million. It was a monumental and decisive encounter of breathtaking intensity which became a turning point, not only on the Eastern Front, but in the Second World War as a whole. Using the very latest available archival material including the testimonies of veterans and providing strategic perspective alongside personal stories of front line fighting, Lloyd Clark has written a lucid, enthralling and heart-stopping account of this incredible battle.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 由備受尊崇的軍事專家，描述了一段改變了二戰進程的一場宏偉的陸戰巨著。
1943年7月5日：世界上涉及範圍最為宏大的一場陸戰，在俄羅斯的庫爾斯克鎮上演了。這場猶如史詩般的戰役在德國和蘇聯兩個強大的軍事集團之間爆發，這場對抗也是歷史上最為重要的一次軍事歷史交戰，集中體現了“全面戰爭”的真正實質意義。這場戰役也是人類歷史上最為血腥的戰役，體現了人性的醜陋和暴行。直至這場浩劫結束，直接導致了德國近三萬人的死亡，而前蘇聯達到了驚人的10萬。這是一場不朽的戰役，驚險的決定性戰役結局成為了前蘇聯衛國戰爭的一個轉捩點，不僅影響了東部戰線，而且也作為對二次世界大戰一個整體產生了決定性的影響。作者引用了最新的檔案材料，包括當時退伍軍人所提供的證詞，以及通過這些隊伍軍人個人戰鬥故事所展示的個人戰略視角，勞埃德·克拉克用清晰的，迷人的筆觸，書寫了這場驚險的，迴腸蕩氣的戰役。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：The outstanding military book of 2011 for me is Lloyd Clark’s Kursk. Many military people have talked about mankind’s largest tank battle without having had the opportunity to study it in the depth it deserves. Clark’s masterful study not only rectifies this deficiency but also places the battle in its wider context of the whole campaign on the Eastern Front. Moreover the book is highly enjoyable for both military student and casual reader alike. --Lord Dannatt, former Chief of the General Staff
