Book Reviews of Voices from Stalingrad: Nemesis on the Volga
Book Review: A unique perspective
Summary: 4 Stars
Voices From Stalingrad takes the unique perspective of using letters from both Russian and German soldiers to tell the story of one of the most horrific battles of World War Two. Because it wasn't an American struggle, textbooks here rarely acknowledge this battle as one of the key tipping points of the war. Through these letters, the sacrifice that they made, and their complete unwillingness to surrender the city regardless of the cost, can be seen. One the other side, the hopelessness of a German army that only a short time earlier had seemed unstoppable, is captured through young men who want nothing more than to go home.
Summary of Voices from Stalingrad: Nemesis on the Volga
A Fascinating Perspective on World War II's Largest and Most Bitterly Fought Battle*Includes never-before-published material from rare German and Russian KGB sources *Authored by the critically acclaimed author of Voices from D-Day *Features rare photographs from both sides of the front
No previous work about Stalingrad places such emphasis on the experience of ordinary fighters and civilians. This volume of human history and military strategy includes fresh translations from original sources describing this pivotal event of World War II as told by the German and Soviet soldiers who fought the battle, Russian civilians who watched the enemy at the gates as well as Western diplomat and newspaper correspondent onlookers.
