This book is not just a powerful and professional study of the Battle of Stalingrad. Unlike the works of other foreign authors, the reader will not find on its pages the usual cliches about "bloody commissars" and detachments that shot their own by the hundreds. A well-known American military historian focuses on ordinary soldiers of the Red Army, answering the main question: what made them fight bravely in incredibly difficult conditions? Having vividly described the battles in the city on the Volga from mid-September to mid-November 1942, Michael K. Jones was able to convincingly, through the eyes of direct participants, show the battle for Stalingrad, truly impressively conveying its desperate, brutal nature. Using archival documents to confirm the dramatic testimonies of veterans of V.I. Chuikov's 62nd Army, he corrects many entrenched errors in depicting the course of the Battle of Stalingrad, the victory in which was an incredible triumph of the human spirit.
