This international bestseller, which has sold millions of copies, chronicles the pivotal moment in World War II that changed the course of history. In the autumn of 1942, amidst the ruins of Stalingrad, a soldier penned, "This is no longer a city... Even the sturdiest stones crumble, and animals flee this inferno; only humans persist".

The battle for Stalingrad became the crucible of Hitler and Stalin's resolve, with its inhabitants enduring unthinkable suffering. The Red Army's eventual triumph and the collapse of Hitler's Operation Barbarossa marked the first significant setback to the Führer's European conquests, heralding the beginning of his downfall.

Beevor's masterful account weaves together tales of tactical brilliance, civilian courage, obsession, and carnage, offering a profound exploration of the very nature of warfare. Stalingrad stands as a testament to the crucial role played by the Soviet war effort in the conflict's outcome.

Acclaimed by critics, this work has been hailed as "a superb retelling" that "combines a soldier's grasp of war's realities with a novelist's narrative prowess" and "a brilliantly researched tour de force of military history". Beevor's scholarly rigour and deep empathy illuminate the full horror and human cost of this monumental struggle.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
