Also includes The Aftermath; Order of Battle and Chronology; and Index. The German invasion of Russia was Hitler's biggest gamble in his quest for "Lebensraum" in the East--and it was at Stalingrad that his gamble failed. Stalingrad: The Infernal Cauldron is a detailed history of Hitler's great failure, and a comprehensive account of one of the most important battles of World War II. With full-color strategic maps, 170 black and white photographs, over half of which have never before been published, and detailed appendices that contain information on orders of battle, losses, and equipment, Stalingrad is an exhaustive account of the battle that bled the German army dry, and turned the war in the East decisively against the Germans. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the defining battle of World War II that saw the destruction of the entire German Sixth Army and the tide of the war turn against Hitler. Superbly illustrated, the book includes many never-before-seen photographs from former Soviet archives. The book is accompanied by an authoritative text by Stephen Walsh, a leading expert on Russian military history from the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. In the Battle of Stalingrad (23 August 1942 - 2 February 1943), Germany and its allies fought the Soviet Union for control of the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) in Southern Russia. Marked by fierce close-quarters combat and direct assaults on civilians in air raids, it is one of the bloodiest battles in the history of warfare, with an estimated 2 million total casualties. After their defeat at Stalingrad, the German High Command had to withdraw considerable military forces from other theaters of war to replace their losses. The German offensive to capture Stalingrad, a major industrial and transport hub on the Volga River that ensured Soviet access to the Caucasus oil wells, began in August 1942, using the 6th Army and elements of the 4th Panzer Army. The attack was supported by intense Luftwaffe bombing that reduced much of the city to rubble. The battle degenerated into house-to-house fighting, as both sides poured reinforcements into the city. By mid-November, the Germans had pushed the Soviet defenders back at great cost into narrow zones along the west bank of the river. On 19 November, the Red Army launched Operation Uranus, a two-pronged attack targeting the weaker Romanian and Hungarian armies protecting the 6th Army's flanks. The Axis flanks were overrun and the 6th Army was cut off and surrounded in the Stalingrad area. Adolf Hitler was determined to hold the city at all costs and forbade the 6th Army from attempting a breakout; instead, attempts were made to supply it by air and to break the encirclement from the outside. Heavy fighting continued for another two months. At the beginning of February 1943, the Axis forces in Stalingrad, having exhausted their ammunition and food, surrendered after five months, one week and three days of fighting.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Andras Bereznay (Maps), Niroot Putapipat (Jacket i (illustrator). First Printing [Stated]. [2], ix, [9], 390, [6] pages, Maps. Note. Index. When the British journalist Rachel Polonsky moves to Moscow, she discovers an apartment on Romanov Street that was once home to the Soviet elite. One of the most infamous neighbors was the ruthless apparatchik Vyacheslav Molotov, a cohort of Stalin who was a participant in the collectivizations and the Great Purge-and also an ardent bibliophile. Polonsky uncovers an extensive library and an old magic lantern-two things that lead her on an extraordinary journey throughout Russia and ultimately renew her vision of the country and its people. In Molotov's Magic Lantern, Polonsky visits the haunted cities and vivid landscapes of the books from Molotov's library: works by Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Pushkin, and others, some of whom were sent to the Gulag by the very man who collected their books. With exceptional insight and beautiful prose, Polonsky writes about the longings and aspirations of these Russian writers and others in the course of her travels from the Arctic to Siberia and from the forests around Moscow to the vast steppes. A homage to Russian history and culture, Molotov's Magic Lantern evokes the spirit of the great artists and the past of a country ravaged by war, famine, and totalitarianism. Rachel Polonsky is a British scholar specializing in Slavic Literature. Her books also includes English Literature and the Russian Aesthetic Renaissance. She is Vice-President of Murray Edwards College of the University of Cambridge, where she is a Fellow in Slavonic Studies; Graduate Tutor in Modern Languages/ Slavonic Studies (Russian). Derived from a Kirkus review: Journalist Polonsky steps back into a near-vanished world of Soviet and Russian history. Having moved to Moscow from England, the author and her family lived on Romanov Lane, in the apartment just below where Stalin's apparachnik Vyacheslav Molotov resided during the last years of his life (d. 1986). Polonsky was invited by the current resident to poke around the flat, and through his library she was able to illuminate 'discrete moments' from Russian history as through a magic lantern: She was spurred in her scholarly pursuits by her own intensive reading. Throughout the narrative, she returns to her favorite works, including Walter Benjamin's Moscow Diary, Dostoevsky's novels and the poetry of Osip Mandelstam. Romanav Lane was the rarefied address, successively, of the Russian aristocracy of 'old Moscow,' intriguers during the Revolution, the Soviet nomenklatura and today's wealthy financiers. Polonsky ventured on expeditions to far-flung cities such as Lutsino, a dacha colony above the hills of Moscow where distinguished scientists loyal to the Soviet state were offered summer homes; Mozzhinka, where Stalin's reluctant president of the Academy of Sciences, Sergei Vavilov, wrote his private memoirs; and some of the sites sacred to Chekhov, a favorite writer of Molotov. She also visited Vologda, where 'any individual who ever opposed the power of the state is likely to have passed through'; the northern cities of Archangel and Murmansk; and several Siberian townsâ "all in search of swiftly disappearing traces of these complicated, tragic lives. A reflective, satisfying, intimate discovery of Russian history.
