Great book!
Covers Stalingrad from multiple viewpoints and transitions seamlessly between them
Great Book
I found this book looking for something different that I didn’t know about WWII. I really enjoyed how detailed and vivid the descriptions were and the characterizations about the leaders involved. Definitely recommend.
Amazing Detail
This book payed amazingly close detail to seemingly small events and the way the author was able to put in nearly the entire war, the preclude to Stalingrad, and the enormous amount of detail about the battle is amazing. The personal writings are impressive. I do think that he may have spent too much time focusing on less important characters early in the book and he didn’t spend much time on Post-Stalingrad and Kursk, but as the book is about the Battle of Stalingrad I don’t think it’s much of a problem. By far one of the best military history books I’ve ever read.
