Excellent - rich with detailed information.

An epic story which is described in rich detail. Strongly recommend for those seeking to obtain a strong operational level understanding of the Stalingrad battle. Especially useful for those interested in wargaming the conflict.
The narration held my attention.
Glantz does not disappoint but, like all of his works, accurate period maps are a necessary companion.

Concise description of the movements of all forces involved as well as some strategic considerations on both sides

Way too much details of large group movements of which names and numbers mean very little to anyone but professionals. I became fairly bored with the story less than half way through with the remainder somewhat of a struggle to get through (for me as a layman) Was hoping more for more details concerning individual and small unit experiences and details.

An excellent work of academia

Well researched and documented. A must for anyone who wishes to dig deep into this moment in military history.

beat audible book to date

amazing research and presentation of subject material. finally a David Glantz book on audible. only took 2 years of me begging for it.. Hehe. best money spent in a decade. let's hope we see plenty more David Glatz and similar caliber WW2 books coming to audible in the future.

Detailed account

Very detailed account of the battle, the descriptions of the units and their condition at each engagement is impressive.
