Praise

“A fantastic and sobering story…fully and authoritatively told.”—The New York Times

“Stalingrad’s heart-piercing tragedy needed a chronicler with acute insight into human nature as well as the forces of history. Antony Beevor is that historian.”—The Wall Street Journal

“Easily the most complete and objective picture of the battle’s scale and ferocity that American readers have ever read.”—Dallas Morning News

“Magnificent…Certainly the best narrative of the battle yet to appear and…not likely to be surpassed in our time.”—John Keegan
