A grippingly told history of the battle of Stalingrad, the turning point of World War Two, one which claimed literally hundreds of thousands of lives. This new account provides a succinct and evocative narrative of its origins, course and consequences, from the outset of the Russo-German War, to the German assault on Stalingrad and the Soviet defense and counter-offensive. Geoffrey Roberts looks back at the verdict of history, arguing that not only was Stalingrad the defining battle of the World War Two, but that the Soviet victory fundamentally changed the course of human history. While capturing the drama, human tragedy and moment of Stalingrad, this is a simple, direct, evocative, and accessible history. Geoffrey Roberts is a Soviet and World War Two specialist, and has written both general and specific histories of Russia.
