Probably the best books portraying the German perspective of Barbarossa are the two written by Paul Carell:

"Hitler Moves East 1941 - 44"

"Scorched Earth"

About Alexander Werth : Russia at War ...

I have the book, bought on E! for 11 US$!

I didn't go through the whole book yet, this is so huge book. But I like the style. The author was there during the war as a kind of war correspondant and he is making the account of what he saw and lived, with nice description of the places he visited and event he went through. Also, supporting the text with some other references.

I find it reads like a novel even though it's an informative book. Personally, I visited the whole crimean peninsula last summer and was very pleased to read about the author's account of the battle around sevastopol and speaking about his trip from Simferopol to Sevastopol, via Yalta, etc.. When you saw the places, when you know the geography, it makes it so intersting to read the story.

I recommend it definitely.

Alright, I just bought the book. Although I got it for $5 shipped from eBay.

Thanks for the reccomendation.

Rusty,

I guess you bought the one I saw 5 minutes ago, but that guy (if we talking of the same seller) only ships to the US!...

It was translated in Portuguese but a long time ago and is now out of print!... And it's a too big book to read it in English

I guess it is the same book. He had the BIN only for $2.49 with $2.79 for shipping. I haven't seen the book but figured for $5 I can give it a read.

So it's not the same guy, the one I mentioned had it for sale for $5, no shipping included.
Notice that this is an amazing price for such a hyge book!
Initially it had 5 Volumes in English and I think 5-7 Volumes in Portuguese!
Even for a 1964 book (more recent editions, including Hardcover and Softcover do exist) it's still very cheap!
