About this book
A new paperback version of the first volume in John Ericksons monumental critically acclaimed history of the Soviet-German war.In fascinating detail The Road to Stalingrad takes us from the inept command structures and strategic delusions of the pre-invasion Soviet Union through Russias humiliation as her armies fell back on all fronts until the tide turned at last in Stalingrad. The assessment of the generals and political leaders as well as of the wranglings within both the Allied and Axis commands is completely unsparing. The climactic battle so vividly described here leaves the Red Army poised for the long fight towards Berlin. This is not to be missed by any military buff or student of World War II.
