I don't recall those. I do recall they had a great history section with a large section devoted to British history. I think I purchased most of my Margaret Atwood books there too.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I've only read one Stalingrad book that I can think of right now.  The Beevor one, which was excellent.  I got cold reading it.

What's it called?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I'm going to guess that that's the name of more than one book, so who's the author?

I hope we get to hear a high-pitched shriek when you're posting as your keyboard melts.

Jerks. <_<

I have books on battles that have the battle name as the title, though they usually also have a subtitle. Totally plausible that the book in question was named Stalingrad.

Do you know the name of the author yet?
