EXCERPT FROM THE "BACKGROUND" OF DAY 1, "CENTRAL STALINGRAD": "The fighting in central Stalingrad is arguably the most well-known phase of the entire battle and conjures up famous names and landmarks like 'Pavlov's House', the 'Univermag' and 'Rodimtsev'. The feat of Rodimtsev's guardsmen in holding on to a strip of riverbank is praised in every book about Stalingrad. And deservedly so. Unfortunately, most of the buildings and streets lost their historical significance during the reconstruction of the city centre, with a few notable exceptions." CONDITION: This edition is in overall "like new" condition with only faint rubbing to the cover. Pages are a light cardstock weight, and are bright and crisp. Leaves are free from any marginalia or creasing. A very handsome copy. Additional photos available upon request. Full refund if not satisfied.
