[Jeffrey D Myers]

Army of the Potomac trilogy by Catton. About half way through -- reading it because a book club formed around it.

 

[Allegedlycaleb]

Breakout at Stalingrad by Heinrich Gerlach. I'm 3 quarters way through it and it is a really interesting book written by someone who was trapped with the German 6th Army in Stalingrad. I believe the actual narrative is historical fiction, but much of it was pulled from the author's actual experiences.
