About This Item
London: Robson Books. Very Good. 2001. Soft Cover. 8vo 1861054041 Photographic illustrations and maps, A fine copy. ; 230 x 155mm; A few spots to page tips.304 pages clean and tight. The epic battle of Stalingrad will be remembered as one of history's most savage conflicts. Now, almost sixty years after Stalingrad's fall, world-renowned military historian Edwin P. Hoyt tells the full story of this bloody battle, using newly released documents from Moscow and American archives as well as first-person testimonials from Stalingrad's heroic survivors. With the dramatic power of a first-rate storyteller, Hoyt recreates the words and deeds of the battle's chief participants: its ruthless warlords, Hitler and Stalin; its fabled generals, von Paulus and Marshal Zhukov; its soldiers and civilians who fought, bled and died. More than the fiercest battle of all time - a conflict which cost some three million lives - Stalingrad was the hinge of history. Had the Red Army fallen, the Nazi juggernaut would have rolled over Russia. Had von Paulus not held out in those last agonizing months, Stalin would have painted Europe red. In this thought-provoking and grimly fascinating book, Hoyt gives some startling and illuminating insights into this crucial battle. .
