Re: Prohorovka/Lawrence
It is very much alive. It is a huge project that will take perhaps a further year (the editing process alone has been really painstaking) or so to hit the shelves. It won't be cheap but it will be huge! More details I cannot post right now.
Re: Prohorovka/Lawrence
As another year is going done, I want to ask the fellow`s about news for this long awaited book.

Re: Prohorovka/Lawrence
The estimated publication is second half of 2013. This is the latest info from the people behind the book. Please do realize that this will be a huge book, 1000 + pages in medium format (not sure but the preliminary data indicates 8" x 10" format), large maps, professionally edited etc. plus a limited print run due to massive size of the project.

Re: Prohorovka/Lawrence
Is the book about the entire battle of Kursk, or only about Prokorowka?

Re: Prohorovka/Lawrence
Its been some time since I saw the contents listing, but I recall that it does concentrate on Prohorovka. But the detail and analysis will be unbeatable, and the source material used will be much wider than used by previous authors.

Re: Prohorovka/Lawrence
More detailed than Demolishing the Myth, or Blood Steel and Myth?

Re: Prohorovka/Lawrence
Any idea if the book will be published prior to the 70th anniversary of the battle in July 2013?

Re: Prohorovka/Lawrence
The latest intel I got from the publisher last week was "late 2013". It will be worth the wait.

Re: Prohorovka/Lawrence
I'd rather keep it confidential until I get a clearance from the publisher to make further details public.

Re: Prohorovka/Lawrence
That's fine. I'll just keep waiting for it. I hope it's really good!
