Antony Beevor
In August 1942, an overconfident Adolf Hitler would attempt to invade Stalin's namesake city on the Volga. The battle of Stalingrad is extraordinary in every way: the triumphant invader fought to a standstill; then the Soviet trap sprung, surrounding their attackers; and the terrible siege, with Germans starving and freezing, forced to fight on by a disbelieving Hitler. Now Antony Beevor tells the story as it has never been told before, recounting the strategic brilliance and fatal flaws of the notorious generals, while telling the incredible tale from a soldier's-eye view. The author incorporates Russian reports on desertions and executions that have never been seen by Western scholars, German transcripts of prisoner interrogations, and private letters and diaries to re-create the human drama of the most terrible battle in modern warfare.

Critic reviews
"A fantastic and sobering story...fully and authoritatively told." (The New York Times)
"Stalingrad's heart-piercing tragedy needed a chronicler with acute insight into human nature as well as the forces of history. Antony Beevor is that historian." (The Wall Street Journal)
"Easily the most complete and objective picture of the battle's scale and ferocity that American readers have ever read." (Dallas Morning News)

Would you try another book from Antony Beevor and/or George Guidall?
Husband did read another book on WWII by Beevor and liked it. Guidall was good but I thought the info dry.Would you recommend Stalingrad to your friends? Why or why not?
No- didn't like the story.What three words best describe George Guidall’s voice?
Okay-Listenable-ArticulateWas Stalingrad worth the listening time?
NoAny additional comments?
The reality is that we would probably pick the book again because of husband's interest.Husband's choice on car trip!

Only reason I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars is the audio recording is clearly a little older and could use a bit of EQ enhancement because you get a bit more bass then you’d like from a recording but still worth a listen if you’re interested in the topic.
Great book. Recording itself needs better EQ
