Here is a book that I would recommend:

Barbarossa the Russian-German Conflict 1941-1945

By Alan Clark
Copyright 1965
Published by Harpercollins Publishers Inc.
522 pages with fact pages about the Russian and German leaders, Fuhrer Directive No. 34, Commissioned ranks of the SS and Army equivalents, and a glossary of abbreviations!

Definitely a good read for anyone wanting to learn about Barbarossa from the beginning to the fall of Berlin.

As I continue the work on my book I look for both sides of the story. One book is excellent. It's

Eastern Front Combat
The German Soldier in Battle from Stalingrad to Berlin
Edited by Hans Wijers
Copyright ©2008 by Hans Wijers
Published by Stackpole Books
Soft bound and 305 pages with plenty of pictures and maps.

It's an interesting account of the battles from a German soldier's point of view.

I can recommend this book!!!
