Reviews
"Fifteen years ago the late John Erickson wrote that the research of Glantz and House reflected an encyclopaedic knowledgeof the Nazi-Soviet war and constituted a benchmark for excellence in the field. The Stalingrad trilogy reflects the fact that they maintain that standard, while bringing to light a new understanding of many old questions."War in History "This work will stand the test of time."Parameters "This volume will stand as the definitive study of the fighting in one of the critical battles of World War II. It will be of interest to anyone desiring to understand the conduct of the campaign."New York Military Affairs Symposium Review "A critical addition to the growing literature on the German-Soviet War. . . . A unique account of perhaps the most important battle of the Second World War."The Russian Review "Trawling through the endnotes and noting the research that has gone into this and the previous volume, it is increasingly apparent that it is unlikely in the short-medium term that this work or its predecessor will be challenged as operational histories of the fighting for Stalingrad, and it is in this regard that this work will stand the test of time and represent a significant contribution to the literature."Historian "Glantz and House have produced seminal studies of major events: the Battle of Kursk and the campaign on the Eastern Front. In terms of research, insight, and revision, Armageddon is their best yet."Slavic Review "This book not only gives a vivid and fascinating narrative of the Verdun-like struggle for Stalingrad. . . . Highly recommended. Of value to both the specialist and armchair historian.

Synopsis
The German offensive on Stalingrad was originally intended to secure the Wehrmacht's flanks, but it stalled dramatically in the face of Stalin's order: "Not a Step Back " The Soviets' resulting tenacious defense of the city led to urban warfare for which the Germans were totally unprepared, depriving them of their accustomed maneuverability, overwhelming artillery fire, and air support--and setting the stage for debacle. Armageddon in Stalingrad continues David Glantz and Jonathan House's bold new look at this most iconic military campaign of the Eastern Front and Hitler's first great strategic defeat. While the first volume in their trilogy described battles that took the German army to the gates of Stalingrad, this next one focuses on the inferno of combat that decimated the city itself. Previous accounts of the battle are far less accurate, having relied on Soviet military memoirs plagued by error and cloaked in secrecy. Glantz and House have plumbed previously unexploited sources--including the archives of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD) and the records of the Soviet 62nd and German Sixth Armies--to provide unprecedented detail and fresh interpretations of this apocalyptic campaign. They allow the authors to reconstruct the fighting hour by hour, street by street, and even building by building and reveal how Soviet defenders established killing zones throughout the city and repeatedly ambushed German spearheads. The authors set these accounts of action within the contexts of decisions made by Hitler and Stalin, their high commands, and generals on the ground and of the larger war on the Eastern Front. They show the Germans weaker than has been supposed, losing what had become a war of attrition that forced them to employ fewer and greener troops to make up for earlier losses and to conduct war on an ever-lengthening logistics line. Written with the narrative force of a great war novel, this new volume supersedes all previous accounts and forms the centerpiece of the Stalingrad Trilogy, with the upcoming final volume focusing on the Red Army's counteroffensive., The world's foremost authority on the Soviet Army in World War II offers the second installment of his pathbreakinbg trilogy on the epic clash at Stalingrad. The definitive account of the battle that produced a major turning point for both the Easterrn Front and World War II., The German offensive on Stalingrad was originally intended to secure the Wehrmacht's flanks, but it stalled dramatically in the face of Stalin's order: "Not a Step Back!" The Soviets' resulting tenacious defense of the city led to urban warfare for which the Germans were totally unprepared, depriving them of their accustomed maneuverability, overwhelming artillery fire, and air support--and setting the stage for debacle.
