"Enemy at the Gates" Craig Williams was born in Concord Massachusetts. He wrote the book "Enemy at the Gates" in 1973. The point of this book was to show both the extreme importance of this battle in the course of World War II and the courage of both the German and Russian troops during this horrific battle.

I have to say that this is one good movie‚ its pretty different from your average WWII movie. Its not as propaganda based as your American war movies like saving private Ryan or pearl harbour.

Its like a hide and seek thriller that uses the battle of Stalingrad as a disguise for the battle of courage and determination that we see going on‚ on the big screen. A lot of historians say that the battle of Stalingrad was
