Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad by William Craig
Stalingrad, the bloodiest battle in the history of warfare, cost the lives of nearly two million men and women. It was perhaps the single most important engagement of World War II and signalled the beginning of the end for the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler.
During the five years William Craig spent researching the battle for Stalingrad, he traveled extensively on three continents, studying documents and interviewing hundreds of survivors, both military and civilian.
This unique account is their story, and the stories of the nearly two million men and women who lost their lives.
'Probably the best single work on the epic battle of Stalingrad, Germany's World War II Verdun, yet written - and certainly the most revealing. A magnificent account which places its author, William Craig, in the front rank of contemporary historians. An unforgettable and haunting reading experience.' - Cornelius Ryan
