Anyone read a book called "Deathride"?

I am in the process of reading this book. I have a basic understanding of WWII history, but I have to admit that I didn't know very much about the Eastern Front.
I guess I have a distinctly American view of the conflict.   I am curious if the author's interpretation of events, and his assumptions regarding the abilities and motivations of Hitler and Stalin, are reasonable. The book has been a real eye opener for me...it's a good read.

You definitely want to listen to the "Ghosts of the Ostfront" series.....very eye-opening....the Eastern Front was basically a battle b/t the Shadows vs. the Borg.....no one to cheer for on either side....
