For all the historical book lovers!
Hello fellow readers and writers!
If you are a fan of war novels and want to delve into the merciless, psychological strain of the deciding battle of Stalingrad, I’d like to introduce you to my novel “Stalingrad: The Loneliest Death.”
A short synopsis may spark your interest:
September 1942. The few surviving assault pioneers of a battalion deployed in North Africa are drafted to the eastern front. In the course of the deciding battle of Stalingrad, which claimed two million victims, moral principles are of secondary importance: trench war, close combat, hunger and cold, madness as a last resort before death...
Young lieutenant Hans von Wetzland is forced to accept that he cannot possibly keep up even the most basic moral standards. Neither his men’s nor his own.
This historical fiction is based on extensive research and numerous interviews with contemporary witnesses. Its unique focus on the characters’ emotional struggles provides a grim insight into the cruelties on the battlefield and makes this novel a searing indictment against all wars.
In case you are not already hooked, there is also an excerpt available for you to read through.
If you are interested in getting to know me as a writer, you can read through an interview regarding “Stalingrad: The Loneliest Death” on my blog or you can send me any questions you have concerning my writing process, etc.
Happy reading and writing!
