"A painstakingly thorough study that will become a standard work on the battle of Stalingrad." 05/15/1998New York Times
"Beevor, a former British army officer and the author of several other studies of war, provides a vivid and detailed account of the Stalingrad conflagration, beginning with Operation Barbarossa, the 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union, and ending with the surrender of German generals on the Volga River a year and a half later....Stalingrad is, in short, a fantastic and sobering story, and it has been fully and authoritatively told in Beevor's book." - Richard Bernstein 08/26/1998 London Review of Books
"Beevor maps out the the strategic scheme as seen from above, but also gives the view from ground level, with the help of voluminous accounts from the people involved. He has done his research on both sides, in the archives and with survivors." - Thomas De Waal 07/15/1999 |
