"Carefully researched . . . This valuable addition to the body of work about Stalingrad goes a long way toward righting the balance between myth and reality. . . . compelling." —Wall Street Journal
"MacGregor retells [this story] with impressive skill and relish . . . closely researched and enormously engaging." —Sunday Times
"Splendid. . . . MacGregor writes with great fluency and narrative drive, and his account of the context to the battle and the complexity of its fraught swings of fortune and misfortune is compellingly terse." —New Statesman
"MacGregor's wonderful book shines important new light on the most horrific, and arguably the most important, battle of the 20th century. It is a story of 'backs to the wall' defence of the Motherland that modern Russians, with the boot now on the other foot, would do well to study." —Telegraph
“Brisk and dramatic . . . meticulous yet action-packed, this will thrill WWII buffs.” —Publishers Weekly
"Compelling . . . MacGregor effectively uses primary sources, including the archived personal stories of Soviet veterans and the unpublished memoir of German officer Friedrich Roske, who comes fully alive in these pages.” —Kirkus Reviews
"The finest of military history, utterly riveting, based on revelatory and superb research, and a heart-rending account of arguably the most impactful battle to defeat Nazism in WWII. A wonderful and important and timely book." —Alexander Kershaw, New York Times bestselling author of The Bedford Boys
"A superb evocation: MacGregor strips away the layers of myth—using a powerful array of sources—and takes us to the brutal heart of this pivotal battle." —Michael K. Jones, author of Stalingrad: How the Red Army Triumphed
