Mitch Rapp has worked for a number of presidents over his career, but Anthony Cook is unlike any he’s encountered before. Picking up where the “tour de force” (The Providence Journal) Total Power left off, the next thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series follows the CIA’s top operative as he searches for a high-level mole with the power to rewrite the world order. It became a New York Times bestseller and was also the inspiration for the 2001 film of the same name, starring Joseph Fiennes and Jude Law. Enemy at the Gates is the enthralling result: the definitive account of one of the most important battles in world history. Bestselling author William Craig spent five years researching this epic clash of military titans, traveling to three continents in order to review documents and interview hundreds of survivors.
Considered by many historians to be the turning point of World War II in Europe, the Soviet Army’s victory foreshadowed Hitler’s downfall and the rise of a communist superpower. Nearly two million men and women died, and the 6th Army was completely destroyed. The siege of Stalingrad lasted five months, one week, and three days. German soldiers hoped to complete their mission and be home in time for Christmas. The Germans were supremely confident in three years, they had not suffered a single defeat.The Luftwaffe had already bombed the city into ruins. On August 5, 1942, giant pillars of dust rose over the Russian steppe, marking the advance of the 6th Army, an elite German combat unit dispatched by Hitler to capture the industrial city of Stalingrad and press on to the oil fields of Azerbaijan. A New York Times bestseller that brings to life one of the bloodiest battles of World War II-and the beginning of the end of the Third Reich.
