If you are looking for an in depth research reference about the Battle of Stalingrad, this is the book for you. However, what makes it great for reference, is also it's a Achilles heel. For those listening to this as an enthusiast, rather than as an historian, the copious amounts of detail soon becomes a slog.
The narrator also becomes a little monotone, which doesn't help (nor does his mispronunciation of Sevastopol, which really began to grind!!)
Every calibre and size of field gun, manned by a unit of the "x" brigade of the "y" army led by Commander "ABC" who was transferred from the "z" front makes for good research, but not so great to listen to.

Very, very detailed

Plenty of information here. A great listen, recommended for fans of ww2 history. I will buy the book after listening to this for future reference.

Excellent

Of course this is a masterpiece but Glanz... listing a OOB with text and then have it read is nothing anyone can listen to... we should think of standard ways of representing these type of things in audiobooks.

Masterpiece but too detailed for audio

Most WW2 obsessives like myself will know all about Glantz. This is a condensed version of his 5 volume epic and it stands well despite being a lot shorter.

Obviously being an audible book no maps or photos. Still for anyone looking for an audible book on Stalingrad then this is the one.

Good listen

Paul Woodson has done an absolutely stellar job narrating this book…clear as a bell and easy on the ear… it’s really a detailed factual account of the logistics involved in this horrendous battle .. might be too clinical for some but very well researched

So well read ..

This is more of an academic text, and provides some excellent detail at a strategic level. Not as easy to listen to as other works on Stalingrad but a very worthy listen or read.

Awesome detail

Well researched, well written and well read. A very interesting history of the battle of Stalingrad with all pertinent subject areas covered.

Stalingrad fascinates me and I have read, seen and listened to many accounts. This stands out as the only one to leave me completely bored and irritated. It is like having someone read a stock list complete with dates of purchase and sale. There is no feeling and no human (inhuman?) emotion discussed just bare facts and figures. The narration is probably as good as possible for this type of book as another reviewer has noted but that goes nowhere near saving it. I do not readily give up on books but finally caved in half way through. There is much better material out there.

To be avoided

what should have been a interesting subject got bogged down with a breakdown of units and commander's

boring
