Condition notes: production quality of this volume is mixed - some is quite high quality, others appear to have a photocopied quality. Numerous pages have (fairly discreet) yellow highlighting to unit designations; else clean with sound binding. Light wear to cover with faint remains of price sticker. An extremely data-rich volume for wargamers, game designers, or others interested in the Russo-German War of 1941-45 (the "Eastern Front" of the European Theater of WWII). Russian units/strengths are treated on maps, in tables, and in descriptive text, but not in OOBs. Author/editor Madeja acknowledges that much of the text in the volume is taken directly from US army and captured German army records, but it is not clear where the line is between Madeja's writing and those records. We personally inspect every book we offer.
