Synopsis "Stalingrado (in Spanish)"

En Stalingrado se libró la batalla más decisiva de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Su historia ha sido contada muchas veces, pero nunca como en este libro de Antony Beevor, que ha sido elogiado por especialistas como Orlando Figes y Robert Conquest, y que se ha convertido en un bestseller internacional. Beevor ha llevado a cabo una investigación minuciosa en los archivos rusos y alemanes, sacando de ellos datos desconocidos, y ha interrogado a supervivientes de los dos bandos para reconstruir la experiencia vivida en una inmensa tragedia. Ello le ha permitido construir un relato del que Dirk Bogarde dijo que era un magnífico tapiz de invierno, que se lee como una novela, más que como el soberbio libro de historia que realmente es y que ha llevado a Vitali Vitaliev a calificarlo como un drama épico con el aliento de Guerra y Paz.
