Synopsis

Stalingrad, the bloodiest battle in the history of warfare, cost the lives of nearly two million men and women. It was perhaps the single most important engagement of World War II and signalled the beginning of the end for the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler. 'Probably the best single work on the epic battle of Stalingrad, Germany's World War II Verdun, yet written - and certainly the most revealing. A magnificent account which places its author, William Craig, in the front rank of contemporary historians. An unforgettable and haunting reading experience.' Cornelius Ryan, author of THE LONGEST DAY and A BRIDGE TOO FAR.
