'An astonishing achievement' ANTONY BEEVOR 'Extraordinary' JULIA BOYD An intimate history of the most important month of the Second World War - perhaps the century - as experienced by those who lived through it, completely based on their diaries, letters and memoirs. At the beginning of November 1942, it looked as if the Axis powers could win the war; at the end of that month, it was obviously just a matter of time before they would lose. In between came el-Alamein, Guadalcanal, the French North Africa landings, the Japanese retreat in New Guinea, and the Soviet encirclement of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad. In this innovatively kaleidoscopic and riveting historical marvel, Peter Englund reduces these epoch-making events to their basic component: the individual experience. In thirty memorable days we meet characters including a Soviet infantryman at Stalingrad; an Italian truck driver in the North African desert; a partisan in the Belarussian forests; a machine gunner in a British bomber; a twelve-year-old girl in Shanghai; a university student in Paris; a housewife on Long Island; a prisoner in Treblinka; Albert Camus, Vasily Grossman, and Vera Brittain - forty characters in all. We also witness the launch of SS James Oglethorpe; the fate of U-604, a German submarine; the building of the first nuclear reactor; and the making of Casablanca. Not since Englund's own The Beauty and the Sorrow has a book given us one of the most dramatic periods of human history in all its immensity and emotional range.

El académico sueco Peter Englund trenza con maestría vidas y testimonios reales en este relato coral sobre el fatídico noviembre de 1942, que cambió el rumbo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La intrahistoria del mes más importante de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, contada exclusivamente a partir de los diarios, las cartas y las memorias de las personas que lo vivieron. A primeros de noviembre de 1942, parecía que las potencias del Eje todavía podían ganar la Segunda guerra mundial; antes de terminar ese mes era obviamente una cuestión de tiempo que fueran derrotadas. Entremedias había pasado el-Alamein, Guadalcanal, los desembarcos aliados en el norte de África, la retirada japonesa de Nueva Guinea y el avance soviético que rodeaba al Sexto Ejército alemán en Estalingrado. Puede que hayan sido los treinta días más importantes del siglo XX. En esta innovadora y fascinante obra, el sueco Peter Englund ha concentrado un momento histórico clave en su componente fundamental: la experiencia humana. Este relato está basado solo en los textos escritos tanto por soldados como por civiles, un recurso asombroso y profundamente humano. En treinta días memorables conoceremos entre otros a un soldado de infantería soviético en Estalingrado, un piloto estadounidense en Guadalcanal, un conductor de camiones italiano en el desierto del norte de África, un partisano en los bosques de Bielorrusia, un artillero en un bombardero británico, una niña de 12 años en Shanghái, una ama de casa en Long Island, un marinero chinonaufragado, un prisionero en Treblinka, una «mujer de consuelo» coreana en Mandalay, Albert Camus, Vera Brittain... así hasta cuarenta personajes. Desde la publicación del anterior libro del autor, La belleza y el dolor de la batalla, que lanzaba una mirada similar a la primera guerra mundial, no ha aparecido un libro de historia tan fascinante. La crítica ha dicho: «Meticuloso y hábil en su escritura, Peter Englund ha creado un panorama original de la guerra más destructiva de la humanidad». The New York Times «El tour de forcede Englund proyecta una larga sombra en nuestro presente. Sus crudas voces aún me persiguen». The Wall Street Journal « El libro de Englund, con un variado elenco de personajes, merece encontrar una audiencia que no solo descubra más cosas sobre esta guerra en particular, sino también sobre los increíbles sacrificios y tragedias de cada conflicto humano que ha habido, hasta el de Israel y Gaza». The Sunday Times « Noviembre 1942 lo convierte en uno de los autores más importantes del país, de entre todas las categorías y de todos los tiempos». Sydsvenskan «Este relato apasionante y propulsivo [...] recrea la incertidumbre diaria de la guerra tal y como la vive la gente de a pie, con escasa información y pocos recursos. Es una monumental obra de historia». Publishers Weekly «Englund demuestra cómo la guerra redobla nuestro presente, lo hace vibrar». Svenska Dagbladet

The international million copy bestseller recounting the epic turning point of the WW2 ______________ In October 1942, an 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 and its citizens endured unimaginable hardship as a result. 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. An extraordinary story of tactical genius, civilian bravery, obsession, carnage and the nature of war itself, Stalingrad will act as a testament to the vital role of the soviet war effort. ______________ 'He reveals the full awfulness and human cost of the conflict with scholarly verve and deep sympathy' Ben Macintyre 'A superb re-telling. Beevor combines a soldier's understanding of war's realities with the narrative techniques of a novelist' Orlando Figes, Sunday Telegraph 'A brilliantly researched tour de force of military history' Sarah Bradford, The Times

The campaign intended to secure the Wehrmacht’s flanks had proven one front too many for the German Army. And now the offensive at Stalingrad, the epic clash that marked Germany’s failure on the Eastern Front, was entering its grim final phase. In Book One of the third volume of his acclaimed Stalingrad Trilogy, David Glantz offers the definitive account—the “ground truth” to counter a half-century’s worth of myth and misinformation—of the beginning of the end of one of the most infamous battles of the Second World War, and one of the most costly in lives and treasure in the annals of history. When Volume Two left off, Germany’s vaunted Sixth Army, already deflected from its original goal—the Caucasus oil fields—had been drawn into a desperate war of attrition within the ravaged city of Stalingrad. In Volume Three, Book One, we see the ultimate consequences of the Germans’ overreach and the gathering force of the Red Army’s massive manpower and increasingly sophisticated command. After failing repeatedly to find and exploit the weaknesses in Axis defenses, Stalin and the Stavka (High Command) finally seized their chance in mid-November of 1942 by launching a bold and devastating counteroffensive, Operation Uranus. Glantz draws a detailed and vivid account of how, in Operation Uranus, the Red Army’s three fronts defeated and largely destroyed two Romanian armies and encircled the German Sixth Army and half of the German Fourth Panzer Army in the Stalingrad pocket—turning the Germans’ world on its head. Like its predecessor volumes, this one makes extensive use of sources previously out of reach or presumed lost, such as reports from the Sixth Army’s combat journal and newly released Soviet and Russian records. These materials (many cited at length or printed in their entirety in a companion volume) lend themselves to a strikingly new interpretation of the campaign’s planning and execution on both sides—a version of events that once and for all gets at the ground truth of this historic confrontation.
