The Road to Stalingrad by John Erickson
In "The Road to Stalingrad" Professor Erickson takes us in detail from the inept command structures and strategic delusions of the pre-invasion Soviet Union, through the humiliations as her armies fell back on all fronts before the Barbarossa onslaught, until the tide turned at last at Stalingrad. Unsparingly he assesses the generals and political leaders, and analyses the confusions and wranglings within both Allied and Axis commands. The climax, the grinding battle for Stalingrad, leaves the Red Army poised for its majestic counter-offensive, Operation "Uranus", discovering it had "caught a tiger by the tail".
John Erickson was Professor of Politics and Director of Defence Studies at the University of Edinburgh. Educated at Cambridge, he held numerous academic posts both in the UK and the USA. John Erickson died in 2002.
