      General Ridgway's own copy, bearing his characteristically simple 
ownership signature, "Ridgway," on front cover. It was acquired with several 
other books which came from the auction of the Ridgway estate. A very 
focused analysis of the military implications of the salient terrain 
features actually encountered by German troops in Russia in World War II. 
Compiled from reports by several anonymous former German generals, and 
intentionally retains the viewpoint, expressions, and even the prejudices of 
the principal authors. Original printed wraps, stapled binding. Some light 
exterior soil, diagonal crease to front cover at heel of spine.......
