ARMAGEDDON IN STALINGRAD: SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER 1942 (THE STALINGRAD TRILOGY, VOLUME 2) (MODERN WAR STUDIES)
Book ID/图书代码： 13585014B68732
English Summary/英文概要： The German offensive on Stalingrad was originally intended to secure the Wehrmacht’s flanks, but it stalled dramatically in the face of Stalin’s order: "Not a Step Back!" The Soviets’ resulting tenacious defense of the city led to urban warfare for which the Germans were totally unprepared, depriving them of their accustomed maneuverability, overwhelming artillery fire, and air support--and setting the stage for debacle.
Armageddon in Stalingrad continues David Glantz and Jonathan House’s bold new look at this most iconic military campaign of the Eastern Front and Hitler’s first great strategic defeat. While the first volume in their trilogy described battles that took the German army to the gates of Stalingrad, this next one focuses on the inferno of combat that decimated the city itself.
Previous accounts of the battle are far less accurate, having relied on Soviet military memoirs plagued by error and cloaked in secrecy. Glantz and House have plumbed previously unexploited sources--including the archives of the People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD) and the records of the Soviet 62nd and German Sixth Armies--to provide unprecedented detail and fresh interpretations of this apocalyptic campaign. They allow the authors to reconstruct the fighting hour by hour, street by street, and even building by building and reveal how Soviet defenders established killing zones throughout the city and repeatedly ambushed German spearheads.
The authors set these accounts of action within the contexts of decisions made by Hitler and Stalin, their high commands, and generals on the ground and of the larger war on the Eastern Front. They show the Germans weaker than has been supposed, losing what had become a war of attrition that forced them to employ fewer and greener troops to make up for earlier losses and to conduct war on an ever-lengthening logistics line.
Written with the narrative force of a great war novel, this new volume supersedes all previous accounts and forms the centerpiece of the Stalingrad Trilogy, with the upcoming final volume focusing on the Red Army’s counteroffensive.
This book is part of the Modern War Studies series.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 德国对斯大林格勒的进攻最初是为了确保国防军的侧翼安全，但在斯大林下达的“不准后退”命令下却，让这场进攻戏剧性地止步不前，苏联对这座城市的顽强防御导致了一场空前的城市战，这是德军始料未及的，毫无心理准备的街道战，让德军的战机动性优势陷入瘫痪，压倒性的炮火，空中支援，为之后的溃败定局做好了准备。
《决战斯大林格勒》延续了 David Glantz和Jonathan House对这场东部战线，最具标志性的军事行动的大胆全新解析，这也是希特勒第一次重大的战略失误。尽管在该系列三部曲的第一卷描述了德军兵临斯大林格勒城下，而在接下去的，下一卷则聚焦于这座城市的地狱般的焦灼之战。
之前对这场战争的描述并不那么准确，他们所依据的是苏联军队的回忆录，这些回忆录饱受错误，而且被掩盖在秘密之中。本书的两位作战探究了之前未被发现的资料，包括人民内政委员会(NKVD)的档案和苏联第62和德国第六集团军队的记录，并提供前所未有的细节和对这场灾难的全新解读。这些资料得以让作者们能重新拼凑出，一小时一小时地、一条街道街道地、甚至一幢一幢的战斗场面，揭示了苏联保卫者如何在整个城市建立杀戮区，并反复地伏击德军前锋部队。作者将这些行动的描述，置于希特勒和斯大林所做决策，他们的最高指令，和战场指挥官和的东线大规模的战事背景下。他们显示了德军并不是那么坚不可摧，在这场消耗战中败下阵来，迫使他们雇佣更少、更青涩的军源，来弥补早期的损失，并在不断延长的后勤线上作战。
以一部伟大的战争小说的叙事力量写就，这部新卷取代了之前所有的叙述，成为斯大林格勒三部曲的核心，即将到来的最后一卷将聚焦于红军的反攻。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况："Glantz and House are writing the definitive history of the Stalingrad campaign. Their trilogy, backed by meticulous scholarship and refreshingly fair minded, significantly alters long-accepted views of several important aspects of the campaign. . . . A monumental work that is unlikely to be surpassed as an account of the most important single campaign of the Second World War."--Evan Mawdsley, author of Thunder in the East: The Nazi-Soviet War, 1941-1945
