Stephen Robinson studied Asian history and politics at the University of Western Sydney, graduating with First Class Honours. He has worked at the Department of Veterans’ Affairs researching British atomic weapons tests and as a policy officer in the Department of Defence.
“If you are interested in military history, then I highly recommend
this book.”
*Local Matters (NZ)*
”Anyone with an interest in armoured tactics from the German
side will find this book well worth a read"
*Australian Army News*
“(Balck’s) most amazing feat was in December 1942, when he
annihilated a Soviet tank corps against overwhelming odds. It was
his talent for coping with seemingly impossible odds that saw the
US seek out his advice during the cold war and rescued him from
complete obscurity. Robinson’s straightforward and easy to
understand accounts of the battles really brings them to life.”
*Daily Telegraph*
"This glossy hardback book covers Balck's WWII exploits as a Panzer
commander, fighting in the Balkans, Greece, France and the Eastern
Front. It vividly describes his battlefield methodology and how he
routinely destroyed much larger forces arranged against him... It's
a cracking read, illustrated throughout"
*Armourer magazine*
"Balck’s command of the 11th Panzer Division during the Chir River
battles, a series of desperate winter engagements fought in
southern Russia during the Stalingrad campaign, firmly established
his place in history as a master of armored warfare."
*Military History Now*
"Well researched and written in traditional military style. It is
at is best describing the desperate fighting ... during the soviet
offensive to recapture Stalin"
*Asia Pacific Reporter and Defence Review Asia*
"I think this book will be of great interest to readers keen on
military tactics in the land domain."
*Australian Defence Magazine*
"Panzer Commander is very well structured and informative,
providing incredible detail without getting bogged down making it a
fascinating and relatively easy read. Something the author does
that I found particularly compelling was including excerpts from
Herman Balck’s diary in the narrative to provide insight into what
the man himself was thinking."
