Stalingrad by Antony Beevor

Did somebody read this book, if yes does it worth it, because I've seen some review that were saying that it is kind of ''based only on blood'' book.

Your opinion will be useful.

Thank you

An excellent read, had the advantage of getting access to the Soviet Army and politburo archives.
I'm not really into the eastern front but the book is well worth reading even if only from a public library.

I found it to be a fantastic account of Stalingrad, from both sides. Highly reccomended.

I heard that it has declassified records from the politburo archive as airborne medic state, but I am not sure if this is true. Although I have heard this from others on this forum. I am not sure which things in the book are declassified files and which are just accounts. It is definitely worth the money.
