I got caught up in the first book of this series, seeing as I was a tank gunner in the 3rd infantry division in the late 80's, the possibility of a WWIII in Europe was quite real to us then.  Obviously written by a British author, British slang predominates, an  is occasionally off-putting when coming from American forces in the book, but one gets past that as the vast majority of characters ate British or Russian.This novel doesn't seem to flow as well as the first, but when you're narrating a war along an entire European front, it must be hard to maintain characters and create the chaos of war.  I gave it 4 out of 5 stars as this novel did not keep me as glued as the first.  A bit too much listing of units and battle lines, a little too few descriptions of the actually fighting, but again, war on an enormous front, so many characters, etc., can do that to a novel.Worth a read.  Am curious to see how this one ends.
