So I've done the bare-bones of research; that is reading the article on Operation Barbarossa provided by Encyclopedia Britannica. Could someone recommend a dedicated book on this topic? Retail or free are both welcome.
Thanks all!
EDIT: Also funny stuff, my caption thing for security when posting spelt garyg at the start hehe.

Barbarossa Derailed (3 book series) by David M. Glantz
Found War Without Garlands by Robert Kershaw to be intriguing and a pretty good (i.e. not dry) read.
I dunno Pete, Glantz can get pretty dry really fast.
Thank you all for such speedy responses :) I've bookmarked them now so cheers!
Another recommendation is Operation Barbarossa and Germany's Defeat in the East, by David Stahel. It is available on Amazon.
Barbarossa Alan Clarck

And a hearty recommendation from me on this one. Has about 70 pages on Germany's completely inept planning for Barbarossa.
If you can find it, Operation Barbarossa 1941: Hitler Against Stalin by Christer Bergstrom (missing the umlaut there on the "o,") in hardback is absolutely gorgeous in terms of pictures, maps and so on.
Cannot give a trip report on it as of yet as I was just starting to read it when I got distracted by something else.
just about anything from RZM Publishing
