Description
xNovember 1942, Russia:
As the German Sixth Army discovers just how vicious the fighting in Stalingrad can become, the Germans take troops from their flanks in final attempts to take the city before the onset of 'another bitter Russian winter.'
To the south of Stalingrad, on a thinly held front line stretching hundreds of miles, small groups of German troops are dispersed across positions held by their allies of the Fourth Romanian Army.
The Russian high command, STAVKA, are planning an opportunity to turn the tide of the war in the southern sector of the front as they see the weaker German allies occupy defensive positions either side of the city.
Not everything is as it seems in the deepest cold of winter as a small group of men combat nature and a vicious and cunning enemy motivated by revenge to survive and escape.
A realistic account of experiencing the extremes of human camaraderie and desperation facing the human spirit in one of histories most violent and desperate struggles, the Russian Front on the Volga during World War 2.
With temperatures dropping to minus 25 to 40 degrees Celsius and a vicious struggle for survival against both nature and the cruelties of war, the portrayal of individual human reaction to fate and historical events is a gripping insight into the soldier on the frontline, thousands of miles from the decisions that will forge their individual destinies.
The story weaves a path through the days of war on the Volga seen from the eyes of the individuals that fought it.
Having spent nearly thirty years researching World War 2, with particular emphasis on the eastern front, weaponry, tactics and strategy, this is the first submission from the author covering one of the most brutal and vicious campaigns history has ever experienced.
All three of the Author's books based in Stalingrad have become best sellers on Amazon Kindle and many more stories with the characters are outlined.
All units and actions are in accordance with historical research and with the ultimate aim of complete accuracy to events and possible individual actions.
The writer aims to provide a thoroughly enjoyable and imaginative reading experience at an affordable price for the reader.
Imagination is personal, free and to be cherished.
I would like to thank the Bundesarchiv, the official German photo library for the invaluable assistance and use of images.

By Andrew McGregor
xAs a boy, I used to write reports of the local football matches in my home town in northern Scotland, my favourite stories to write at the time being adventure and war and how the human condition adapts to the pressures of fate and unpredictability. Fascinated by history, I used to consume books at a frantic rate, reading personal accounts and historical works across all ages and becoming frustrated upon perusing articles that would compromise fact for common belief or to embellish a tale. My parents had always encouraged me to follow my interest, and this continued with my father occasionally enquiring if I had written anything, something I regret I had not done at the time. Although the pressures of buying property, running a business and having a career allowed me to develop plots and devise potential ideas for books, tales, twists of fate, etc. this was usually accomplished whilst sitting at traffic lights, awaking from a dream, waiting in a bar or the bane of my life, rush hour traffic. I did not realise at the time I was continually formulating stories in my mind, it was just an entertaining pastime to prevent boredom with the initial extracts of imagination then added to over time and usually when passing the same place. On long journeys, I would mentally start out with a plot and character, allowing that to grow and flourish in my mind...quite a useful diversion on say an eight hour car journey...by the time I reached the destination, a whole set of characters and actions had been formulated, sometimes even with terrain and weather. I would then write these whims down, unaware my sub-conscious seemed to be storing the colourful adventure, the key being the location I was at or even emotional state. A couple of years ago, my father unfortunately passed away and it was on the train to assist in the arrangements for the funeral that I considered what my father had encouraged me to do, the things he had been proud of that I had perhaps let slip. All the plots and stories began to pour back as I sat staring out into the French countryside, the silly twists that life throws at us, comical endings to situations and the 'itch I could never scratch', understanding fate's choices and the luck in life. I determined at that point that I would finally achieve what I had always dreamed of and write. At the end of the journey with the train pulling into Bezier...I had completed the first chapter of the first book, Bloody Iced Bullet.
