Death of the Wehrmacht: The German Campaigns of 1942For Hitler and the German military, 1942 was a key turning point of World War II, as an overstretched but still lethal Wehrmacht replaced brilliant victories and huge territorial gains with stalemates and strategic retreats.

For Hitler and the German military, 1942 was a key turning point of World War II, as an overstretched but still lethal Wehrmacht replaced brilliant victories and huge territorial gains with stalemates and strategic retreats. In this major reevaluation of that crucial year, Robert Citino shows that the German army's emerging woes were rooted as much in its addiction to the "war of movement"--attempts to smash the enemy in "short and lively" campaigns--as they were in Hitler's deeply flawed management of the war. From the overwhelming operational victories at Kerch and Kharkov in May to the catastrophic defeats at El Alamein and Stalingrad, Death of the Wehrmacht offers an eye-opening new view of that decisive year. Building upon his widely respected critique in The German Way of War, Citino shows how the campaigns of 1942 fit within the centuries-old patterns of Prussian/German warmaking and ultimately doomed Hitler's expansionist ambitions. He examines every major campaign and battle in the Russian and North African theaters throughout the year to assess how a military geared to quick and decisive victories coped when the tide turned against it. Citino also reconstructs the German generals' view of the war and illuminates the multiple contingencies that might have produced more favorable results. In addition, he cites the fatal extreme aggressiveness of German commanders like Erwin Rommel and assesses how the German system of command and its commitment to the "independence of subordinate commanders" suffered under the thumb of Hitler and chief of staff General Franz Halder. More than the turning point of a war, 1942 marked the death of a very old and traditional pattern of warmaking, with the classic "German way of war" unable to meet the challenges of the twentieth century. Blending masterly research with a gripping narrative, Citino's remarkable work provides a fresh and revealing look at how one of history's most powerful armies began to founder in its quest for world domination.Binding Type: Paperback

Relatable at any age
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book for my nephew but read it myself and found the reminders good for my adult soul, and I like the soft, tasteful illustrations. This is a sweet book made extra special with the fact the author wrote it in conjunction with her younger son.

A Must Read!
Format: Hardcover
Highly recommend Any Day Emotions! Debra Fileta uses creative similes to explain our emotions to the littles. She goes beyond just the basic happy and sad emotions you typically hear about in children’s books to the less talked about emotions such as jealousy and guilt. With each emotion she gives a practical, kid friendly step to live an emotionally healthy life. Any Day Emotions is a fun book to teach your littles about emotions in a way that points them back to their Creator. The beautiful illustrations are the perfect touch to tie it all together!

A good and easy “self-help” book for parents to “help” their child with their emotions! LOVE IT!
Format: Hardcover
Wow! I love that this book was written by a licensed professional counselor! I love that I’m familiar with this author’s other books which I own and have read. I love that this book addresses so many emotions a child will have! My favorite is “Jealous” because she perfectly depicts a birthday party and we all know that siblings can easily become jealous over all the attention, the gifts, the cake…
The pictures pair beautifully with the words/emotions. I love this illustrator, she is amazing and gifted! You are easily drawn in by the details and colors in each picture! It really gives my child lots of images and things to look at and relate to as you read to them.
I also love the emotion “Peaceful” because when you look at the illustrations of the water and floating on a tube while your hand is resting in the water and you are gently kicking your feet, that looks and feels peaceful and I know my child can relate to that.
This is a very easy to understand book. I loved that each emotion was on two pages and you didn’t need to turn the page, it was all there for you to process and read. The entire explanation of the emotion was a simple way for my child to grasp the concept and give simple choices on how to deal with the emotion. For me including God in the equation was awesome and important and that was also simple and easy to understand.

I absolutely love this book! The illustrations are gorgeous, and the book does such a great job helping kids understand their feelings and how to handle them. It’s been so helpful for talking with my kids about their emotions in a simple, meaningful way. I also love how the author brings God into it—it’s such a sweet reminder that He cares about every feeling we have. Highly recommend for any parent!
