There are two Books by that title, and I have them both. The one by Maerz is for the serious collector of the IC and from what I have been told, a must have if that is your reason for considering it. Right now I have out on load to a colleague from work who does just that.

The other is by Gordon Williamson, and is a study not only if the Knights Cross and its grades, but of all those who won the award with bios on each.

Williamson also has a companion book, "The Iron Cross- A History 1813-1957".

Both are excellent and although I purchased them as part of a collection, I think they retail for around $30 a piece.
