I liked this book, generally speaking. I love WWII history books as a rule, and this was interesting because it had perspectives from both the German and the Russian side, as well as occasional Italian. This book could be riveting at times and extremely dry at times. Having an index with all the characters mentioned would have been helpful.
This title was the catalyst for my enduring fascination with books covering the fighting on the Eastern Front during World War Two. This is a great story of the fighting at Stalingrad endured by the German and Russian armies. Although not as deeply researched as Glantz's titles this book offers an insight into the soldier's war and does it brilliantly. This is still one of my top ten books ever which isn't bad considering it was first published in the early 1970's. Recommended for anyone who loves a good historical account.
