Blitzkrieg

“’Blitzkrieg’ not only shows you the big picture, economically, strategically, but also takes you right into the Panzers. This book looks at the nuts and bolts of the German army during the blitzkrieg years. It gives you a background on the theory of blitzkrieg war-making as well… As usual, this Casemate Publishers book is a well written and absorbing read. For those of us who are interested in the tactics and strategy of the early war years, it is a book you won't want to miss.” ~A Wargamers Needful Things

“In support of his convincing argument the author uses several accounts of German actions seen through the eyes of the soldiers and junior officers who had to put theory into practice on the battlefield. 4.5 stars.” ~Army Rumour Service

“A comprehensively detailed work of definitive scholarship… "Blitzkrieg: From the Ground Up" is an extraordinary and highly recommended addition to community and academic library World War II Military History collections.” ~Midwest Book Review

“The author argues that the concept was not new, but merely a refinement of fighting techniques that were developed over decades… To demonstrate this idea the book uses not only the experiences of generals and their broad perspective, but also those of enlisted soldiers and junior officers as they fought the war on the ground.” ~WWII History

“For those who wargame these periods there are some good scenarios which would translate very nicely onto the wargames table.” ~Miniature Wargames

"This book's greatest value lies in how it takes real life facts and circumstances and uses them to educate the reader on core concepts driving the German approach to tactics and operations." ~Globe at War

"Niklas Zetterling, a former historian at the Swedish Defense College, provides a very different perspective by examining blitzkrieg not as a revolutionary means of waging war, but as a logical extension of exiting German operational art brought to its fullest capability." ~New York Journal of Books
