"A well-written study of great victories and incredible defeats. .
. . History buffs, strategy lovers, and warriors learning about
their own profession will all enjoy Stopped at
Stalingrad."--Aerospace Power Journal"This is a model of its kind,
which ought to set an agenda for the reconstruction of the air
narrative in this and other theatres in the greatest of air
wars."--Richard Overy, War in History"In Stopped at Stalingrad, an
original and formidably researched study, Joel Hayward argues that
the key, not only to a correct understanding of the disastrous
outcome for Sixth Army at Stalingrad, but also to a more accurate
appreciation of Operation Blau, the German summer campaign in 1942,
requires close scrutiny of Luftwaffe operations, something hitherto
lacking. . . . Stopped at Stalingrad is an absolutely indispensable
work not only for its revelations about Stalingrad, but equally for
a more complete understanding of the nature of Soviet-German
operations in a critical year."--John Erickson, RUSI
Journal"Hayward makes a convincing case for the centrality of air
power for German military operations in 1942."--Omer Bartov, Times
