Focuses on the inferno of combat that decimated the city of Stalingrad during the German offensive. The authors reconstruct the fighting hour by hour, street by street, and even building by building to reveal how Soviet defenders established killing zones throughout the city and repeatedly ambushed German spearheads.

While it is no fault to say that this is not the first book about the battle of Stalingrad you should read, I'll admit that I found the maps a little disappointing; in particular, maps that did a better job of relating the fighting in Stalingrad proper to the operations mounted to take pressure of Chuikov's Soviet 62nd Army would have been appreciated. This is a small complaint in relation to the greater achievement of the authors.
It should also be noted that German air superiority into late 1942 played a large role in this campaign, but that is mostly just alluded to in this book. Those who would like to have a better sense of the campaign in three dimensions should consult Joel Hayward's "Stopped at Stalingrad" and Christer Bergstrom's "Stalingrad: The Air Battle."
One also comes away wanting to know more about how the Soviet naval forces kept men and supplies flowing into Stalingrad, as this has to be an epic story in and of itself. ( )
