5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, November 16, 2003
This review is from: Stalingrad (Ldp Litterature) (French Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is as good as Joel Hayward ''Stopped at Stalingrad''. Beevor has assembled rich and useful material, assembled it to form solid arguments, and written it in a lively style. It's great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tragic epic, January 4, 2007
This review is from: Stalingrad (Ldp Litterature) (French Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)
A good account of the battle of Stalingrad. The first hundred or so pages are a very good summary of the war on the Eastern Front. The men who suffered in the trenches are the real heroes of the story. Toward the end the book became overly tactical. For instance I still do not understand what happened to cause the Germans to be closed into a pocket,thus bringing about the collapse of the Axis forces around Stalingrad. But then, why and how did the German counter-attack fail? Those troops caught in "Fortress Stalingrad" (as the Nazi regime propaganda called it) were not adequately supplied by the Luftwaffe and when ran out of ammo, food and supplies had to surrender. Only less than 10% returned home after the end of the war. When you read stories like this and imagine the fate of any brave and unfortunate soldier, who grows up in Nazi Germany, does his duty for his country and volunteers to go to war only to be consumed in the cauldron and the "black hole" of war, you can't help but stare in awe and fear at the collective and cosmic pattern woven by the political, social and historical forces at play. The individual's will and resolve, desires, hopes and aspirations are made null and dissolved into this abyss. Fate is not the right word. But how shall we describe the HUGE and beyond any human understanding horizon into which millions of men walked to their death?
