The Battle of Stalingrad was not only the psychological turning point of World War II: it also changed the face of modern warfare. From Antony Beevor, the internationally bestselling author of D-Day and The Battle of Arnhem.

In August 1942, Hitler's huge Sixth Army reached the city that bore Stalin's name. In the five-month siege that followed, the Russians fought to hold Stalingrad at any cost; then, in an astonishing reversal, encircled and trapped their Nazi enemy. This battle for the ruins of a city cost more than a million lives. Stalingrad conveys the experience of soldiers on both sides, fighting in inhuman conditions, and of civilians trapped on an urban battlefield. Antony Beevor has itnerviewed survivors and discovered completely new material in a wide range of German and Soviet archives, including prisoner interrogations and reports of desertions and executions. As a story of cruelty, courage, and human suffering, Stalingrad is unprecedented and unforgettable.

Historians and reviewers worldwide have hailed Antony Beevor's magisterial Stalingrad as the definitive account of World War II's most harrowing battle.

I first read this book in my final year of high school, a gift from my late grandfather. I listened mostly via Audible with Whispersync reading on Kindle in between. The book is the best there is on what was the beginning of the end for Germany. Superbly researched and extremely balanced, anyone interested in the battle should not waste any time and read this. I can't imagine any other book being better than this. Just buy it and get into it!

Up until Stalingrad the Wermacht thought itself unbeatable.After this they never regained the initiative in any theatre of the war.A great study of this period and people and decisions that forced this outcome.This was the true critical point of the 2nd World War.

I enjoyed this book even with it's sad subject. Leaves me feeling if both sides had looked after prisoners properly then surrender would have been an option instead of fighting on till the end. Highly recommended to understand the reason for the battle for Stalingrad and the combatents on both sides struggles.
