Just finished Stalingrad, by Vassily Grossman, and was blown away. His writing is quite poetic, yet still anchored firmly to the pain and joy of everyday existence. His depiction of the Russian people and of the battle of Stalingrad itself is truly vivid, it is as if you are experiencing it yourself.would highly recommend it to anyone interested in history, if in just reading a really good book.

I read it last year and absolutely loved it. It truly captured the terror, trauma and hopelessness of the situation. I would argue it’s not only one of the most consequential battles in human history, but also the most horrifying.
