Glantz , author of The Stalingrad Trilogy, "Citino has something interesting and original to say about every campaign. . . . A major contribution of great value for specialists but also highly attractive to the general reader."-- Evan Mawdsley , author of World War II: A New History and Thunder in the East: The Nazi-Soviet War, 1941-1945, "Like all of Citino's work, this book brims with perceptive insights and clever observations."-- German Studies Review, "An excellent sequel to Citino's Death of the Wehrmacht . Together, they provide an essential and compelling reassessment of Hitler's fighting machine in World War II."- David M. Glantz , author of The Stalingrad Trilogy, An outstanding book.

Together, they provide an essential and compelling reassessment of Hitler's fighting machine in World War II.-- David M. Glantz , author of The Stalingrad Trilogy, "This splendidly detailed operational history recasts 1943 as a year of stalemates, and examines how the Wehrmacht managed savage defensive moves despite hemorrhaging in an unwinnable two-front war."- World War II Magazine, "Essential reading for anyone interested in the military campaigns of the war. . . . Whether the reader is a serious military historian, a serving soldier, or the casual military history buff, the prose is perfect. Added benefits are excellent photos and maps. . . .

Glantz , author of The Stalingrad Trilogy, "Skilfully performs the dual act of combining impeccable research with a cracking good read. Indeed far from the Wehrmacht's lost war being the harbinger of a dry history, Citino's study brings out the great importance of this period by highlighting the drama within the German command as well as the grueling events at the front. . . . In all aspects of his discussion of 1943 Citino's trademark mastery of the vast literature is evident. . . . Like his many past works, The Wehrmacht Retreats deserves to be widely read."- War in History, "Essential reading for anyone interested in the military campaigns of the war. . . .
