Voices from Stalingrad

"The battle of Stalingrad raged unrelentingly from August 1942 to February 1943. It was the cruellest, most bitter battle ever fought, and the Russians came within an ace of losing it." "The events of Stalingrad make a story that is epic in scope, but also full of human detail. Here you will find the first-hand accounts of the Russian soldier searching the ruins for his family; the German doctor who at Christmas sketched the 'Stalingrad Madonna' and so gave hope to his starving comrades-in-arms; and the men of both sides, fighting over a drainpipe for the chance of a sip of water."--BOOK JACKET.
