Stalingrad by Antony Beevor
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 395
Overview: Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Stalingrad by Antony Beevor, read by Peter Nobel. Antony Beevor’s Stalingrad is a harrowing look at one of history’s darkest moments.
In October 1942, a panzer officer wrote, ‘Stalingrad is no longer a town…. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure.’
The battle for Stalingrad became the focus of Hitler and Stalin’s determination to win the gruesome, vicious war on the eastern front. The citizens of Stalingrad endured unimaginable hardship; the battle, with fierce hand-to-hand fighting in each room of each building, was brutally destructive to both armies. But the eventual victory of the Red Army, and the failure of Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa, was the first defeat of Hitler’s territorial ambitions in Europe and the start of his decline.
Antony Beevor is the renowned author of Stalingrad, which won the Samuel Johnson Prize, the Wolfson Prize for History and the Hawthornden Prize for Literature, and Berlin, which received the first Longman-History Today Trustees Award. His books have sold nearly four million copies.
