Zamulin has written a book that will be the standard on the Prokhorovka battle for many years to come".-Martijn Lak "Journal of Slavic Military Studies" "It is very difficult to do justice to the level of detail provided in this study. By doing so, he indeed demolishes many of the myths that surround that pivotal engagement.
Zamulin is to be congratulated on writing a highly convincing and thorough analysis of the tank battle at Prokhorovka. Using an overwhelming and stunning amount of sources, both from German and especially Russian archives as well as from participants in the battle and secondary literature, he paints a vivid and often horrifying picture of the events that occurred. Zamulin analyses the real costs and achievements of the Red Army at Kursk, and especially Prokhorovka. Harrison "The Russian Review" "In his majestic and provocative book. Scrupulously researched and supplemented by a number of excellent maps and photographs, this work will intrigue and inform serious students of the Eastern Front for years to come."-Richard W. a true operational history also featuring detailed first person accounts and studiously examining lessons learned all while providing balanced and well reasoned insight helping the reader to understand how and why events unfolded as they did.an absorbing read, even for those who consider themselves otherwise well informed on the topic."- "Globe at War" "Demolishing the Myth is a much needed and very welcome addition to military-historical writing on the Eastern Front, a refreshing change to the standard Anglo-American-German interpretation of events."-Dr Steven J Main, DefAc UK "British Army Review" "I cannot recommend this book too highly. plethora of tables, maps, pictures, including current pictures of the Prokhorovka battlefield, and appendices detailing German and Soviet comparative strengths, tables of organization and equipment, losses sustained by each side, and more. perhaps the most accurate look yet at why and how the German offensive failed to meet its objectives.
