You do realise books are translated/released in multiple languages I assume?
As it goes how would those books be anymore accurate on a particular subject than the English, German, French, Italian, Spanish or Chinese translation of the same book, 1000, 100,000 or 1,000,000 is exactly the same in any language.
on top of this which book would be more accurate a Russian statistical breakdown or a German one of the same battle or heres a thought perhaps they are both one sided and lacking all the information.
However no matter how you look at it if your sole knowledge on a subject is from books and anecdotal evidence then in the end you are still just parroting someone else's opinion as the only people who can lecture us on the context of these battles are those that actually were there at the time.
