Victory at Stalingrad tells the gripping strategic and military
story of that battle. The hard-won Soviet victory prevented Hitler
from waging the Second World War for another ten years and set the
Germans on the road to defeat. The Soviet victory also prevented
the Nazis from completing the Final Solution, the wholesale
destruction of European Jewry, which began with Hitler's "War of
Annihilation" against the Soviets on the Eastern Front. Geoffrey
Roberts places the conflict in the context of the clash between two
mighty powers:their world views and their leaders. He presents a
great human drama, highlighting the contribution made by political
and military leaders on both sides. He shows that the real story of
the battle was the Soviets' failure to achieve their greatest
ambition: to deliver an immediate, war-winning knockout blow to the
Germans. This provocative reassessment presents new evidence and
challenges the myths and legends that surround both the battle and
the key personalities who led and planned it.
