Island of Fire

This work is an exhaustive and incomparable study of the battle of Stalingrad (1942-1943). With a deep research in primary sources of both sides and numerous testimonies, letters and diaries of veterans, the author manages to meticulously reconstruct all the action and what was lived during those hard weeks of hand-to-hand combat street by street, house by house, corner by corner and floor by floor of the buildings of the Barrikady arms factory complex and of all its industrial district. The text is accompanied by an important graphic section of photos, sketches and a large fold-out map of the entire factory district to follow the course of operations.
