New Kursk book! "Objective Ponyri!"

[jmark]

Hi guys,

I just want to let everyone know about my publishing house's forthcoming release called "Objective Ponyri! The Defeat of XXXXI. Panzerkorps at Ponyri Train Station". The author, Martin Nevshemal, a former USMC Captain and S-2 (Battalion Intelligence Officer), has used his analytical skills to evaluate primary and published sources to produce a book that clearly shows every stage of the German offensive towards Ponyri and the corresponding Soviet countermeasures. The book is filled with stunning aerial photos, uncovered by Martin in NARA’s vast holdings. Many of the German aerial photos capture crucial moments of the battle: explosions, tanks and planes are often visible. To showcase these photos and the many other maps and colour satellite images, we have departed from our usual book format and instead opted for a large landscape format, with a photo on the left page and text on the right.

Features of the book:
• Large 297 x 210mm landscape format
• 204 pages on high-quality gloss paper
• Hardcover only
• 60 aerial photos
• 18 colour satellite images
• 19 maps and 9 sketches
• 32 supporting photos
• 2 appendices.

For more information about the book, follow this link: http://www.leapinghorseman.com.au/pr...92274917&cat=5

Finally, here is the cover and a few sample pages.

Thanks for your time.

Hey all,

This book has been in the works for over two years. It fills in a lot of the daily detail of the ferocious fighting for the rail side village.

Keep tabs on LHB's Facebook page for more information about the timing of actual book deliveries now that the pre-publication offer is out.

Excellent

This one fine study.... what one would except from "The leaping Horseman"

Anyone interested in this phase of the events in the summer of 1943 will not be

disappointed .

Couldn’t agree more. It’s a superb book that anyone with an interest in the Kursk offensive should have on their bookshelf.

I consider myself very fortunate in that I was part of a group that was guided around the Ponyri battlefield by the author and this book is the next best thing to being on that tour.

The only downside is that after reading this book I want to go back and explore Ponyri and the surrounding areas again!

+1 very enjoyable read.

Refreshing to finally see a book on the crucial battle of the Northern shoulder fought by units not wearing cufftitles which many book researchers seem to be mesmerized with.
