Victory at Stalingrad tells the gripping strategic and military story of that battle. The hard-won Soviet victory prevented Hitler from waging the Second World War for another ten years and set the Germans on the road to defeat. The Soviet victory also prevented the Nazis from completing the Final Solution, the wholesale destruction of European Jewry, which began with Hitler’s "War of Annihilation" against the Soviets on the Eastern Front.
Geoffrey Roberts places the conflict in the context of the clash between two mighty powers:their world views and their leaders. He presents a great human drama, highlighting the contribution made by political and military leaders on both sides. He shows that the real story of the battle was the Soviets’ failure to achieve their greatest ambition: to deliver an immediate, war-winning knockout blow to the Germans.

This provocative reassessment presents new evidence and challenges the myths and legends that surround both the battle and the key personalities who led and planned it.

`This is vintage history at its best. The author provides fascinating insights into the epic Battle of Stalingrad including a skilful examination of the profound consequences of its outcome.'

–Edward Acton

`Geoffrey Roberts has written a brilliant introductory survey of the battle of Stalingrad.'

THANKS!!! I have always felt that Germany would have won the entire World, as they had it going, (not that was good) except then they made the absolutely stupidest blunder as stupid as all the ingenious moves they made by invading Russia. That completely wiped out their experienced troops and basically was the end of the war. Stalingrad was the the battle that was the focal point.nonetheless until this one major blunder. I used to have a book on the entire war, with stories and all the battles graphic pictures (our neighbor girl stole it!) I will never forget seeing pics of the German soldiers frozen on the ground in their summer outfits, strewn all along the roads.
Thank you for this amazing book. It has some marks on the margins, but the text is perfectly legible, so not a problem for me. I also appreciate the information you added to the upload.
