RESUMEN: En Stalingrado se libró la batalla más decisiva de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Beevor ha llevado a cabo una investigación minuciosa en los archivos rusos y alemanes, sacando de ellos datos desconocidos, y ha interrogado a sobrevivientes de los dos bandos para reconstruir la experiencia vivida en una inmensa tragedia.
