About this ebook
The bitter Battle of Stalingrad was the turning point of WWII on the Eastern Front. The relentless and unstoppable German advances that had seen the panzers sweep hundreds of miles into Russia was finally brought to a halt at Stalingrad. The elite German 6th Army was first fought to a standstill, then surrounded and forced to surrender. For the first time in the war, the Germany army had been defeated on the field of battle. Before Stalingrad the Russians never won; after Stalingrad they could not lose. Part of Arcturus' popular illustrated history series, Stalingrad is a vital read for anyone interested in 20th century history. Fully illustrated with almost 100 great photographs and maps.

As an amateur war historian I have read many accounts of this battle.This title is one of the very best.All the dry statistics are there but woven through the human narrative making it a gripping read even for old hands.

I've read a couple of similar books but this is the best by miles. Lots of new interesting information about the battle and good quality photos too. Excellent value.
