"Now, for the first time, the epic battle for Stalingrad is depicted in all its electrifying excitement and savage horror. Acclaimed historian Edwin P. Hoyt, relying on newly released documents from Moscow and American archives - as well as first-person testimonials from Stalingrad's heroic survivors - puts the readers there, amid the shellfire and the slaughter. 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 end civilians who fought, bled and died." "More than the bloodiest battle in history - a spectacular conflict costing 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 those last agonizing months, Stalin would have painted Europe red." "On the fiftieth anniversary of Stalingrad's fall, the real story is finally told."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
