A short (76 pages) book about how the soldiers on both sides spent Christmas at Stalingrad during the Second World War. It’s both a sad and uplifting tale with the participants suffering horrific conditions yet at times maintaining their dignity and hope.
I tend to like the books of Antony Beevor with both Stalingrad and Berlin being particular favourites. This book seems to be an excerpt from Stalingrad, yet stands up on its own merits.
