This classic account of the epic turning point in the Second World War has become an international best-seller. 'Antony Beevor's Stalingrad is a superb re-telling of the saga. Beevor combines a soldier's understanding of war's realities with the narrative techniques of a novelist. ...This book that lets the reader look into the face of battle.' Orlando Figes, Sunday Telegraph 'It felt as if I was reading a classical epic drama of the scope of War and Peace.' Vitali Vitaliev, Guardian
