A documented account of the battle that reshaped the Eastern Front
Antony Beevor’s history traces the five-month siege of Stalingrad, from the German Sixth Army’s arrival in August 1942 to its encirclement by Soviet forces. The book places combatants and civilians within the destroyed city, examining the extreme conditions of urban warfare and the immense human cost of the battle. Drawing on survivor interviews alongside German and Soviet archival material—including prisoner interrogations and records concerning desertion and execution—it assembles perspectives from both sides of the conflict. Stalingrad presents the battle as a pivotal World War II campaign while keeping attention on the military decisions, brutality, courage, and suffering experienced on the ground.

The Battle of Stalingrad was not only the psychological turning point of World War II: it also changed the face of modern warfare. From Antony Beevor, the internationally bestselling author of D-Day and The Battle of Arnhem.
In August 1942, Hitler's huge Sixth Army reached the city that bore Stalin's name. In the five-month siege that followed, the Russians fought to hold Stalingrad at any cost; then, in an astonishing reversal, encircled and trapped their Nazi enemy. This battle for the ruins of a city cost more than a million lives. Stalingrad conveys the experience of soldiers on both sides, fighting in inhuman conditions, and of civilians trapped on an urban battlefield. Antony Beevor has itnerviewed survivors and discovered completely new material in a wide range of German and Soviet archives, including prisoner interrogations and reports of desertions and executions. As a story of cruelty, courage, and human suffering, Stalingrad is unprecedented and unforgettable.
Historians and reviewers worldwide have hailed Antony Beevor's magisterial Stalingrad as the definitive account of World War II's most harrowing battle.
