Panzer-Divisions savage fighting on Stalingrads outskirts and in the devastated ruins of the city itself is revealed in a detailed day-by-day account.
Another one for military historians and students - though people who enjoy real-life combat accounts will also lap it upI can't comment on the historical accuracy, but I can say that this is a thrilling account of one of the main thrusts of the allies into the Russian heartland. Stirring stuff. * Books Monthly 30/01/2015 *
