David M. Glantz is the author of numerous books, including
The Battle for Leningrad, 1941-1944; Colossus Reborn: The Red Army
at War; and Red Storm over the Balkans: The Failed Soviet Invasion
of Romania.
Jonathan M. House is the author of Combined Arms Warfare in
the Twentieth Century. Glantz and House are also coauthors of When
Titans Clashed: How the Red Army Stopped Hitler and The Battle of
Kursk.
Fifteen years ago the late John Erickson wrote that the research of
Glantz and house reflected an 'encyclopaedic knowledge' of 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;
""Glantz is the world's top scholar of the Soviet-German War.""-
Journal of Military History;
""No previous work matches, or even approaches, the accuracy,
detail, and fresh interpretation offered in this book. The trilogy
is an essential addition to the library of any institution whose
students study World War II. It is indeed a monumental work.""-
Slavic Review;
""I strongly recommend this book to serious World War II students;
it certainly provides readers with a far greater understanding of
this phase of history's greatest land war.""- Armor;
""A very important addition to all World War II collections. Highly
recommended.""- Choice;
""The combination of David Glantz's accrued knowledge of the war on
the Eastern Front during World War II and the rich source material
in the extensive notes makes this book arguably the most
authoritative operational study of the initial phases of the
Stalingrad campaign ever published in English, or any language for
that matter.""- Parameters;
""Although he offers a deeply detailed, comprehensive operational
history, Glantz nonetheless steps back just enough to offer cogent
analysis and interpretation. . . . Glantz has made good use of the
most recent Soviet and German sources and historiography to craft a
nitty-gritty of the key 1942 summer campaign in Russia. As always,
his information is substantial and his judgments are sound.""-
H-Net Reviews;
""A magisterial new survey that draws on a wealth of previously
inaccessible Red Army records and will be indispensable reading for
all serious students of the battle.""- Michael K. Jones, author of
Stalingrad: How the Red Army Triumphed;
""In a way never before attempted, Glantz reveals how the battle
proceeded through the step-by-step, day-by-day efforts of leaders
to plan, supervise, and conduct combat operations amidst the fog of
war.""- Roger R. Reese, author of Red Commanders""Glantz is the
world's top scholar of the Soviet-German War.""- Journal of
Military History
