Re: Prelude to Stalingrad [off topic]
I wonder if this is a paperback reprint of this: https://www.helion.co.uk/confronting...july-1942.html

Stackpole's edition is in paperback and is thus cheaper, especially in the U. S. where original Helion editions are quite expensive.

It is the same book (a reprint of the Helion title). Other publishers who do reprints are also guilty of this. Pen & Sword has reprinted a number of books with altered titles and caught me out once. I now am extra careful with new books of theirs from established authors on similar subjects.

The book should prove useful and interesting for its coverage of the May - August 1942 fighting from Kharkov east and south to the Sea of Azov. Earlier this summer, I spent 170 to 200 hours researching this area and time frame using the KTB und Anlagen of Gen.Kdo. I. Flakkorps from the TsAMO online collection and found the events fast-moving, massive in scope and, accordingly, rather confusing. This title should help unscramble these chaotic events along the line of advance from the Donets Basin toward Stalingrad and into North Caucasia. L. |

Larry,
While not illegal as far as publishing is concerned, there may be a case for false or misleading advertising. I am not an attorney and my advice is unofficial. That said, I think contacting the publisher and politely advising them against what others have said is true - rereleasing a book that was already in print without identifying it as such. Regards, Ed |
Re: Prelude to Stalingrad [off topic]
I was looking at this book this morning on Amazon before seeing this thread. It was listed there in hardcover, paperback and ebook. I like to read Military books with personal experiences from both sides at the ground level to keep the from being bored silly with command strategy only.
