Has enyone read "War of the Rats" by Robbins?

Its an excellent read, its what the movie "Enemy at the Gates." was based off of, but this book is so much better and the storyline is excellent. For those who don't know the story..Basiclly its about this lad named Vasili and he is sent to stalingrad and becomes a hero sniper, excellent sniper. He and his comrade snipers and there duties demorilize german troops, their moral plumates. In retaliation, the Germans send out their best sniper, to seek and kill our Comrade, Vasili. Its very well written and wirth the 6.99 I payed on Amazon.com I would highly suggest it to enyone.

Check it out, and post your opinions here.

I read it myself a few years ago.
A fine read. To see actual live interviews with the famed Vasili are also extraordinarily interesting. Find them if you're able.

A very humble man he is, from what the interview revealed.

Try to steer clear from Amazon if you're able. They're not unionized
