Book ID/图书代码： 13585014B68731
English Summary/英文概要： The confrontation between German and Soviet forces at Stalingrad was a titanic clash of armies on an unprecedented scale--a campaign that was both a turning point in World War II and a lasting symbol of that war’s power and devastation. Yet despite the attention lavished on this epic battle by historians, much about it has been greatly misunderstood or hidden from view--as David Glantz, the world’s foremost authority on the Red Army in World War II, now shows.
This first volume in Glantz’s masterly trilogy draws on previously unseen or neglected sources to provide the definitive account of the opening phase of this iconic Eastern Front campaign. Glantz has combed daily official records from both sides--including the Red Army General Staff, the People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs, the German Sixth Army, and the Soviet 62nd Army--to produce a work of unparalleled detail and fresh interpretations. Jonathan House, an authority on twentieth-century warfare, adds further insight and context.
Hitler’s original objective was not Stalingrad but the Caucasus oilfields to the south of the city. So he divided his Army Group South into two parts--one to secure the city on his flank, one to capture the oilfields. Glantz reveals for the first time how Stalin, in response, demanded that the Red Army stand and fight rather than withdraw, leading to the numerous little-known combat engagements that seriously eroded the Wehrmacht’s strength before it even reached Stalingrad. He shows that, although advancing German forces essentially destroyed the armies of the Soviet Southwestern and Southern Fronts, the Soviets resisted the German advance much more vigorously than has been thought through constant counterattacks, ultimately halting the German offensive at the gates of Stalingrad.
This fresh, eye-opening account and the subsequent companion volumes--on the actual battle for the city itself and the successful Soviet counteroffensive that followed--will dramatically revise and expand our understanding of what remains a military campaign for the ages.
This book is part of the Modern War Studies series.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 德军和苏联军队在斯大林格勒的对峙是一场规模空前的军事角力，这场战役既是第二次世界大战的转折点，也是彰显战争的力量和破坏性的一个永恒的象征。然而，尽管历史学家们对这场空前的史诗般的战事给予了极大的关注，但很多关于这场战役的事迹却被极大地误解或隐藏在人们的视野之外，正如世界最具权威的二战红军历史学家，David Glantz在本书中所叙述的....
Glantz这部精湛的三部曲的第一卷，借用从未公布的或被忽视的资料，对这场标志性的东线战役的开始阶段，提供了确切说明。Glantz梳理了战事双方的每日官方记录，包括红军总参谋部，苏维埃人民内部委员会，德军第6集团军和苏军第62集团军的，就此创作出，这部事无巨细的全新解构的历史小说。Jonathan House，是20世纪现代战争研究方面的权威，为本书增加了进一步的解析和背景内容。
希特勒的最初目标不是斯大林格勒，而是这座城市的南部高加索油田。因此，他把南方集团军群分成两部分，一部分确保他城市的侧翼，另一部分占领油田。
Glantz首次揭露了斯大林是如何作出回应，下令红军奋起作战而不是后撤，导致了许多鲜为人知的战斗，严重削弱了德国国防军的力量，甚至在德军兵临斯大林格勒之前。他指出，尽管前进的德国军队基本上摧毁了苏联西南和南部前线的军队，但苏军通过不断的反击，以比常人更难以想象的更猛烈的力量抵抗了德国的进攻，最终在斯大林格勒城门口阻止了德军的进攻。
这部崭新的，令人恍然大悟的叙述和随后的配套系列，记录了关于这座城市本身的实际战役以及随后苏军成功的反攻——将极大地改变和拓展我们对这一时代的军事战役的理解。(Sandy)
