If you meant, I bring the book or if I remember the title, I'm sorry I can't as the source is not my own and I currently living not at the same place as I lived several years ago.

I do remember some scenes like:

Arjuna:

"Khrisna-- why you still consider him (Karna) as someone better than me. My arrow reversed his chariot twice than his arrow did to my chariot; the difference is as clear as day and you still held him on high regards?!"

Khrisna:

"Dear, Arjuna. Karna is obviously better than you. Our chariot are blessed by gods, we have Shri Hanuman at our chariot flag and you have me, master of three worlds, as your charioteer yet he took it at face value like it was nothing. If you fight him without these aid-- a one single blow from his arrow can send you lost in space."

Mind you that Karna got his Vasavi Shakti because Indra moved by his willingness to gave his armor. He accept Indra, who in disguise, request with no ill thought while if you see the bigger picture, Indra goal is obviously make sure Arjuna can win against him; Indra himself when met with Karna felt that even him wouldn't stand a chance of winning against him on his full strength.

Karna and Arjuna is never equal at both strength and mentality;

Its Arjuna who believe that he is equal and better than Karna, Karna himself not really taking Arjuna without Khrisna aid as his equal; he proved his skill by going through war with his own strength, refusing Surya's invincible chariot package.

There are some details too like "Its destined that the last owner of Vijaya is the greatest hero of all times; pinnacle of heroes." at story about Vijaya, and guess who is the last owner of Vijaya? Its Karna. Khrisna himself aware of that and not denying that Karna is worth to be last owner of Vijaya as Karna achievement are way surpassed other heroes known despite all curse he received.

This is just my advice, if you look for details, do not look for it on modern interpretation of Mahabharata. Modern interpretation of Mahabharata paint Arjuna and Khrisna in white, hailed them as hero with mostly good qualities while in reality they are not as good as that while the 'villains' have their own good qualities too.
