Books about the Eastern Front, WWII

I have a family interest in this subject, and I've read quite a number of books on it. Here's what I'd suggest to those interested in the military and political history.

Beevor, Antony A Writer at War
A very well done compilation of the journals of Vasily Grossman, a war correspondant for the Red Army. He reported on the early battles after the German invasion, the Battles of Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk, and Berlin, and his discovery of the (destroyed by then) death camps at Treblinka and Majdanek. An outstanding book, short and reasonable.

Beevor, Antony Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege
The best book out there about the epic battle of Stalingrad in which as many as 2 million people died.

Beevor, Antony The Fall of Berlin
Another outstanding book by Antony Beevor, this time about the end of the war in the east, starting from Operation Bagration which destroyed the German Army Group Center, all the way through Hitler's forcing of German kids to go out and fight the Soviet tanks. The most interesting part is about the political intrigue, including what happened with Hitler's remains.

Erickson, John The Road to Stalingrad and The Road to Berlin
A mammoth 2 part ~ 1200 page military history of the entire conflict, mainly told with an eye on the Soviet prosecution of the war. Fascinating and ridiculously detailed, but a much more useful read for people who already have some background on the topic.

Fergusson, Niall War of the World
A more general political / economic history of conflict in the 20th century, but with the theme and thesis that the two World Wars, all the related wars between them, and the atrocities committed by various parties, were part of a massive shift of influence within western civilization. The series of wars were in a sense a giant civil war or perhaps even suicide attempt by Europe.

Nagorski, Andrew The Greatest Battle: Stalin, Hitler, and Moscow
A case can be made that the Battle of Moscow in the late fall of 1941 was the turning point of WWII in Europe, because Germany suffered grievous losses and failed to achieve a decisive end to the war, turning the campaign into an unsustainable war of attrition. More than 7 million soldiers were committed to battle, and the battle did not really end until April 1942 (although the German offensive ended in ~ Nov 1941).

Salisbury, Harrison The 900 Days: The Siege of Leningrad
As if Hitler needed more atrocious acts, the three year encirclement of Leningrad starved and froze 1-2 million people to death (whose deaths are not counted among the ~ 12 million who died in the mass killings by the SS). It's extremely well written and justifiably popular. If you ever go to St. Petersburg, Russia, this book and Crime and Punishment are your two required reading materials.
