The battle of Stalingrad was the turning point of World War II. The
German capture of the city, their encirclement by Soviet forces
shortly afterwards, and the hard-fought but futile attempts to
relieve them, saw bitter attritional fighting and extremes of human
misery inflicted on both sides. The surrender of General Friedrich
von Paulus's army left Germany's eastern armies severely weakened,
but the Red Army had suffered enormous losses as it overreached
itself in trying to exploit its great victory. The war was not
over. Germany would continue the fight, and the battles that took
place in the winter of 1942/43 would show the tactical and
operational skill of Erich von Manstein and the Wehrmacht as they
attempted to avert total disaster. In this title, now available in
paperback, a renowned expert on warfare on the Eastern Front
reveals the often-overlooked German counteroffensive
post-Stalingrad, and how it prevented the whole Axis front line
from collapsing. Drawing on first-hand accounts, On a Knife's Edge
is a story of brilliant generalship, lost opportunities and
survival in the harshest theatre of war.
