William Craig (1929-1997) was an American author of fiction and non-fiction. Mr. Craig was an advertising salesman in 1958 when he appeared as a contestant on the television quiz show ''Tic Tac Dough.'' He did so well, winning $42,000, that he was able to enroll at Columbia University and earned undergraduate and master's degrees in history. In 1967, he published ''The Fall of Japan,'' an account of the end of the Pacific war. He also wrote ''Enemy at the Gates'' (1973), about the battle of Stalingrad, and several novels. His first book, The Fall of Japan (1968), is a non-fiction account of the last weeks of the Second World War in the Pacific. Craig's first novel, The Tashkent Crisis (1971), is a Cold War Era thriller about espionage and international politics. His second book on the Second World War, Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad, was published in 1973. Incidents from the history were used to structure the movie Enemy at the Gates (2001). Craig's final book was a spy thriller, The Strasbourg Legacy (1975). Stalingrad, the bloodiest battle in the history of warfare, cost the lives of nearly two million men and women. It signaled the beginning of the end for the Third Reich of Adolph Hitler; it foretold the Russian juggernaut that would destroy Berlin and make the Soviet Union a superpower. As Winston Churchill characterized the result of the conflict at Stalingrad: ".the hinge of fate had turned." William Craig, author and historian, has painstakingly recreated the details of this great battle: from the hot summer of August 1942, when the German armies smashed their way across southern Russia toward the Volga River, through the struggle for Stalingrad--a city Hitler had never meant to capture and Stalin never meant to defend--on to the destruction of the supposedly invincible German Sixth Army and the terror of the Russian prison camps in frozen Siberia. Craig has interviewed hundreds of survivors of the battle--both Russian and German soldiers and civilians--and has woven their incredible experiences into the fabric of hitherto unknown documents. Derived from a Kirkus review: To retell the epic of Stalingrad is to enter a tough competition and invite many comparisons. Craig's narrative falls into that military genre which charges each moment with dramatic significance; he follows foot soldiers, doctors, quartermasters, generals, snipers and sappers on both sides through the terrible five-month battle in which half a million combatants and countless civilians died. Craig's extensive research and fresh interviews of surviving fighters and others authenticates the immediate, intimate circumstances of the battle. The clashes at the railroad station, grain elevator, nail factory, department store, tractor works, "Pavlov's house," and the triumph of the Russian sniper Zaitzev and his lover Tania over the German sharpshooter Konigs have been recorded over and over. Craig adds to already existing accounts some grisly material on the puppet Italian army and the fate of its POW's, but nothing of special consequence. In short: a fine history of the battle among many previous fine histories. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
