Pretty accurate except for the overemphasis on the eastern front and the downplaying of his victories. His logistics doctrine has been proven time and time again as a sound basis for any kind of operation, not just extended conflict. Also the myth he was somehow perfect both ideologically and strategically hasn't been a thing since the 90s, so I don't know why he puts so much emphasis on 'debunking' it.
