Superb. I read Gilbert's THE HOLOCAUST years ago, and it was great. His scholarship is impressive, but what distinguishes his books in my mind is that he never loses sight of the fact that real people are involved in these battles, not just troops. He includes letters written home, interviews with survivors, etc. I'm going to read this in sections, 20% at a time.
