This book is the first book in China that comprehensively introduces the 1942 Battle of Kharkov, which was a very representative and dramatic battle in the Soviet-German War. In the early stages of the battle, the Soviet army took the initiative, attacking first and inflicting heavy losses on the German army. However, the recovering German army turned the tide of the battle. However, this battle was submerged in the historical afterglow of the Third Battle of Kharkov in 1943, and received little attention from war history enthusiasts. The book refers to more than 30 monographs in German, English, Russian, and Chinese, and interprets it from both the Soviet and German sides in a panoramic manner. It also provides a detailed description of the Battle of Barvinkovo ​​in January 1942, which was ignored at home and abroad, and reveals its close connection with the Battle of Kharkov in May of the same year. For military enthusiasts, it is an important reference book to fill the gaps in knowledge.
