"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
