STALINGRAD
As featured in Book of the Year choices:
'My choice this year is, without any doubt, Antony Beevor's
Stalingrad, a magnificent winter tapestry . . . it reads like an
accessible novel rather than the superb history book which it really
is' Dirk Bogarde, Daily Telegraph

'I want to add to the many laurels that have crownedStalingrad by Antony Beevor. This superb work of narrative history (all of human despair, and also of heroism is there) chilled the marrow of my bones,

even though read at high summer' Antonia Fr\u00e4ser, Sunday Times
'Antony Beevor'sStalingrad is superb: a gripping and dispassionate
account of alternating folly and endurance' Nicholas Shakespeare,
Daily Telegraph
'I have recently read and been hugely impressed byStalingrad by
Antony Beevor' Ben Elton, Sunday Telegraph
''Stalingrad is distinguished not only for its exhaustive research and
sheer narrative drive, but for its portrayal of the ordinarily human
during one of the most atrocious battles of the century'
Colin Thubron, Sunday Teleraph
'A brilliantly researchedtour deforce' Sarah Bradford, Sunday Times
'Stalingrad by Antony Beevor is the best battle history for many
years - balanced, dramatic, dreadful' Robert Conquest,

an extraordinary achievement which transcends its genre'

'This book is overpowering . . . Beevor's description of the events of
the battle remain with the reader long after the book has been
closed'Toronto Globe and Mail

'This retelling of the Battle of Stalingrad has proved to be a
surprising runaway hit. It is no small achievement to have reached
such a wide audience with the pity of this particular war'E conom ist

'Truly powerful' David Pryce-Jones, Daily Mail
'Stalingrad's heart-piercing tragedy needed a chronicler with acute
insight into human nature as well as the forces of history. Antony
Beevor is that historian' Philadelphia Inquirer
'A wonderfully readable work of history'Wall Street Journal
'A masterly account of hubris and nemesis on a classic scale . . . he
has written an authoritative and profoundly human study'
Patrick Skene Catling, Irish Times
'The Stalingrad story is biblical in its extremes of barbarism and
heroism, and Antony Beevor has told it superbly'
Andrew Roberts, Literary Review
'Superb . . . a story you'll never forget. There has never been a
battle like this one, and there has never been a book about a battle
such as this'A ustralian
'The colossal scale of Stalingrad, the megalomania, the utter
absurdity, the sheer magnitude of the carnage in what many military
historians see as the turning point in the war, are marvellously
captured in Antony Beevor's new history' Richard Bernstein,
The New York Times

'Antony Beevor has produced a compelling and extraordinary story, richly detailed and engrossingly written. Western scholars owe him a very great debt. We now have the real history of Stalingrad without myth or embellishment' Richard Overy, author of Why the Allies Won

and Russia's War
