And now the offensive at Stalingrad  the epic clash that marked Germanys failure on the Eastern Front  was entering its grim final phase. In Book One of the third volume of his acclaimed Stalingrad Trilogy  David Glantz offers the definitive account--the \"ground truth\" to counter a half-centurys worth of myth and misinformationof the beginning of the end of one of the most infamous battles of the Second World War  and one of the most costly in lives and treasure in the annals of history.  When Volume Two left off  Germanys vaunted Sixth Army  already deflected from its original goalthe Caucasus oil fields--had been drawn into a desperate war of attrition within the ravaged city of Stalingrad. In Volume Three  Book One  we see the ultimate consequences of the Germans overreach and the gathering force of the Red Armys massive manpower and increasingly sophisticated command. After failing repeatedly to find and exploit the weaknesses in Axis defenses  Stalin and the Stavka (High Command) finally seized their chance in mid-November of 1942 by launching a bold and devastating counteroffensive  Operation Uranus.  Glantz draws a detailed and vivid account of how  in Operation Uranus  the Red Armys three fronts defeated and largely destroyed two Romanian armies and encircled the German Sixth Army and half of the German Fourth Panzer Army in the Stalingrad pocketturning the Germans world on its head. Like its predecessor volumes  this one makes extensive use of sources previously out of reach or presumed lost  such as reports from the Sixth Armys combat journal and newly released Soviet and Russian records. These materials (many cited at length or printed in their entirety in a companion volume) lend themselves to a strikingly new interpretation of the campaigns planning and execution on both sidesa version of events that once and for all gets at the ground truth of this historic confrontation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67687864926261,"sku":"ByrdShop_0700619542","price":122.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780700619542.jpg?v=1792157190","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/endgame-at-stalingrad-book-one-november-1942the-stalingrad-trilogy-volume-3-modern-war-studies-9780700619542","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
