War of the Rats
Author: David Robbins
For six months in 1942, Stalingrad is the center of a titanic struggle between the Russian and German armies--the bloodiest campaign in mankind's long history of warfare.  The outcome is pivotal.  If Hitler's forces are not stopped, Russia will fall.  And with it, the world.... — German soldiers call the battle Rattenkrieg, War of the R...  more ».  The combat is horrific, as soldiers die in the smoking cellars and trenches of a ruined city.  Through this twisted carnage stalk two men--one Russian, one German--each the top sniper in his respective army. These two marksmen are equally matched in both skill and tenacity. Each man has his own mission:  to find his counterpart--and kill him.

But an American woman trapped in Russia complicates this extraordinary duel.  Joining the Russian sniper's cadre, she soon becomes one of his most talented assassins--and perhaps his greatest weakness.  Based on a true story, this is the harrowing tale of two adversaries enmeshed in their own private war--and whose fortunes will help decide the fate of the world.
