The battle of Stalingrad was the turning point of World War II. The German capture of the city, their encirclement by Soviet forces shortly afterwards, and the hard-fought but futile attempts to relieve them, saw bitter attritional fighting and extremes of human misery inflicted on both sides.
The war was not over. The surrender of General Friedrich von Paulus’s army left Germany’s eastern armies severely weakened, but the Red Army had suffered enormous losses as it overreached itself in trying to exploit its great victory. Germany would continue the fight, and the battles that took place in the winter of 1942/43 would show the tactical and operational skill of Erich von Manstein and the Wehrmacht as they attempted to avert total disaster.
Drawing on first-hand accounts, On a Knife's Edge is a story of brilliant generalship, lost opportunities and survival in the harshest theatre of war.©2018 Prit Buttar (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critics' reviews
Although it's only part of the story, it's a richly detailed history worth reading for any student of the Eastern Front.
This is another impressive work from Buttar, who is one of my favourite authors currently writing on the Eastern Front of both World Wars. (Dr John Rickard)
