At first glance, the book makes an excellent impression. Of course, you can find fault with the design: it is too catchy for serious scientific work. Although at the same time, the style that was characteristic of all Wargaming projects was retained.
The book is printed in A4 format on good coated paper, resistant to wear, and pleasant to the touch. The hardcover is also pleasing. There are minor complaints about color tabs, which, if handled carelessly, can easily be wrinkled.
The book describes the entire path of “Mouse”: from the first prototypes to Soviet captivity. A lot of documents are presented showing how an 80-ton tank turned into a giant weighing almost 200 tons. Despite the fact that the topic has already been thoroughly investigated both in Russian and in the world scientific literature, the book contains a lot of new and interesting information. For example, the myth that it was impossible to organize the serial production of the "Mouse" was dispelled. The book, with links to documents, confirms that already in 1943 everything was ready for the release of a test batch, and only the bombing of the Krupp factories prevented the appearance of these monsters on the battlefields. Other myths associated with this machine are dispelled.
