  Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege, 1942-1943

  The International #1 Bestseller

  “A fantastic and sobering story... fully and authoritatively told.”

  —Richard Bernstein, The New York Times

  Historians and reviewers worldwide have hailed Antony Beevor’s magisterial Stalingrad as the definitive account of World War II’s most harrowing battle. In August 1942, Hitler’s huge Sixth Army reached the city that bore Stalin’s name. In the five-month siege that followed, the Russians fought to hold Stalingrad at any cost, then caught their Nazi enemy in an astonishing reversal. As never before, Stalingrad conveys the experience of soldiers on both sides as they fought in inhuman conditions, and of civilians trapped on an urban battlefield. Antony Beevor has interviewed survivors and discovered completely new material in a wide range of German and Soviet archives, including reports of prisoner interrogations, desertions, and executions. The battle of Stalingrad was the psychological turning point of World War II; as Beevor makes clear, it also changed the face of modern warfare. As a story of cruelty, courage, and human suffering, Stalingrad is unprecedented and unforgettable.

  The Fall of Berlin 1945

  “The best account yet written on the death knell of Hitler’s vaunted Thousand Year Reich.”

  —Carlo D‘Este, The New York Times Book Review

  The Fall of Berlin 1945 is a gripping, street-level portrait of the harrowing days of January 1945 in Berlin when the vengeful Red Army and beleaguered Nazi forces clashed for a final time. The result was the most gruesome display of brutality in the war, with tanks crushing refugee columns, mass rapes, pillage, and destruction. Making full use of newly disclosed material from former Soviet files as well as other archives, Beevor has reconstructed the different experiences of those millions caught up in the death throes of the Third Reich, depicting not only the brutality and desperation of a city under siege but also rare moments of extreme humanity and heroism.

  The Spanish Civil War

  “A rare book which cannot be supplemented.”

  —John Keegan, The Sunday Times (London)

  The Spanish Civil War is a compelling account of one of the most hard-fought and bitter wars of the twentieth century: a war of atrocities and political genocide that was a military testing ground before the Second World War for the Russians, Italians, and Germans. With his thorough and contemporary examination of the Spanish civil war, historian Antony Beevor unravels the complex events from the coup d‘etat which started the war in July of 1936 to the final defeat of the Republicans in 1939. This highly readable account leaves out none of the familiar aspects, exploring them with a clear eye and providing important new insights into the war—its causes, course, and consequences.

  Paris after the Liberation 1944-1949

  Revised Edition

  With Artemis Cooper

  “A wondrous account that thoroughly matches the brilliance of its subject.”—The Boston Globe

  “Enormously enjoyable ... It is hard to see how it could have been done better.”—The Sunday Telegraph (London)

  In this brilliant synthesis of social, political, and cultural history, Antony Beevor and Artemis Cooper present a vivid and compelling portrayal of the City of Lights after its liberation. Paris became the diplomatic battleground in the opening stages of the Cold War. Against this volatile political backdrop, every aspect of life is portrayed: scores were settled in a rough and uneven justice, black marketers grew rich on the misery of the population, and a growing number of intellectual luminaries and artists—including Hemingway, Beckett, Camus, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Cocteau, and Picasso—contributed new ideas and a renewed vitality to this extraordinary moment in time.
