Hi Rich, I have the book in front of me, it was first published in 1973, my copy, a Penguin soft cover dates from 2001. It has a picture of Jude Law and Joseph Fiennes on the cover below the words "An inspiration for the major motion picture from Paramount Pictures and Mandalay Pictures". By the way, the sniper duel is only a small part of the book, which is a well researched and footnoted work of history. Most historians consider Stalingrad the single most significant battle of WW2, nearly two million people lost their lives, including most of the German 6th Army. If you've ever wondered where most of those "Russian capture Lugers" came from, now you know. Regards, Norm
