"Michael Jones’ book … represents a milestone in the treatment of the battle…Jones is able to zero in on the psychological state of Red Army combatants and successfully determine just what motivated them to fight and endure as they did in such extreme circumstances… The result is highly effective and utterly captivating. Previous accounts have bee unable to fully convey the desperate ferocity of the battle. Now we see it in all its horror – and better understand the courage of Stalingrad’s defenders. This is the finest history of its type published to date."– David M. Glantz, from Foreword
