Antony Beevors Stalingrad is a harrowing look at one of historys darkest moments. In October 1942, a panzer officer wrote Stalingrad is no longer a town...Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure. The battle for Stalingrad became the focus of Hitler and Stalins determination to win the gruesome, vicious war on the eastern front. The citizens of Stalingrad endured unimaginable hardship; the battle, with fierce hand-to-hand fighting in each room of each building, was brutally destructive to both armies. But the eventual victory of the Red Army, and the failure of Hitlers Operation Barbarossa, was the first defeat of Hitlers territorial ambitions in Europe, and the start of his decline. An extraordinary story of tactical genius, civilian bravery, obsession, carnage and the nature of war itself, Stalingrad will act as a testament to the vital role of the soviet war effort. A superb re-telling. Beevor combines a soldiers understanding of wars realities with the narrative techniques of a novelist...This is a book that lets the reader look into the face of battle. (Orlando Figes, Sunday Telegraph). A brilliantly researched tour de force of military history. (Sarah Bradford, The Times). Antony Beevor is the renowned author of Stalingrad, which won the Samuel Johnson Prize, the Wolfson Prize for History and the Hawthornden Prize for Literature, and Berlin, which received the first Longman-History Today Trustees Award. His books have sold nearly four million copies.
