Hi All

I have not found an audiobook that covers the eastern war well but have found this gem in epub/mobi form https://annas-archive.org/search?q=absolute+war 

Absolute War by Chris Bellamy

Please leave any thoughts on books I should read.

Thank you for your uploads.

There is a lot more out there.
If you'll take an advice; don't overdo the general histories.
After you spend some time in the history echo chamber all those will start to sound the same, wrong or both.

Browse trough this:
https://www.audible.com/search?feature_six_browse-bin=18685580011&feature_twelve_browse-bin=18685552011&node=18573669011&sort=popularity-rank&ref_pageloadid=AeH0THMhxjvAjFPk&pf_rd_p=0a2f6131-b0f4-4cd5-b722-e9604a0a3102&pf_rd_r=N3PAZMSWWKY13PQRZ4P1&pageLoadId=uvFXjDyzI1slaeSH&creativeId=792c6ece-15a9-4a32-b4ea-d95a6bbc6141&ref=a_search_c1_sort_pop

With a bit of decrement you'll easily find Eastern Front Histories since there are fewer of those books.
