The German invasion of the Soviet Union was Hitler's biggest gamble
in his quest for Lebensraum in the East - and it was at Stalingrad
that his gamble failed. Stalingrad is a history of the greatest
battle of World War II, a defining moment in the struggle on the
Eastern Front. From conditions on the Eastern Front before the
battle to the consequences of the battle for both combatants,
Stalingrad is a comprehensive account of the build-up, engagement,
turning points and aftermath of what became the Verdun of World War
II. With authoritative text and rarely seen photographs, Stalingrad
shows how the rubble-strewn city gave rise to a bitter hand-to-hand
struggle between both sides, and how landmarks such as the Mamaev
Kurgan Hill could change hands 17 times in a single day. With
battle maps, 170 photographs and appendices, Stalingrad is a
fascinating and vivid account of the battle that bled the German
army dry, and turned the war in the East decisively against
Germany.
