Hitler's Arctic War: The German Campaigns in Norway, Finland, and the USSR 1940-1945 Review

I was surprised when I read this book, at the number of errors, inaccuracies, and untruths I found in it. It is painfully apparent that no one with any knowledge of that theater checked this book before it was published.
I also had a problem with reading it. It felt like the authors each wrote what they wanted, and didn't bother to compare their efforts before putting them together. There is nothing wrong with reinforcing information in previous chapters. Telling it to the reader again, though, is a different matter.
I ordered this book to aid my own research into the campaigns in the North. I kept it only as a reminder of what not to publish. I was sorely disappointed with this product.

Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz (1849--1930) was the principal forcebehind the rise of the German Imperial Navy prior to World War I, challenging GreatBritain's command of the seas. As State Secretary of the Imperial Naval Office from1897 to 1916, Tirpitz wielded great power and influence over the national agendaduring that crucial period. By the time he had risen to high office, Tirpitz waswell equipped to use his position as a platform from which to dominate Germandefense policy. Though he was cool to the potential of the U-boat, heenthusiastically supported a torpedo boat branch of the navy and began an ambitiousbuilding program for battleships and battle cruisers. Based on exhaustive archivalresearch, including new material from family papers, Tirpitz and the Imperial GermanNavy is the first extended study in English of this germinal figure in the growth ofthe modern navy.
