Nikolai Litvin is retired and lives in Krasnodar, Russia. Stuart Britton is a freelance writer and translator based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The best memoir to date of a Red Army soldier in World War II. It's also rare in terms of the amount of detail it contains, the accuracy of that detail, and its unabashed candor. Britton skillfully complements Litvin's account by providing essential context and additional valuable information. David M. Glantz, author of Colossus Reborn: The Red Army at War, 1941-1943 ""Absorbing and thought-provoking, Litvin's story reveals the perseverance, resourcefulness, and astonishing toughness of the typical Red Army soldier, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the Eastern Front or soldiers' experiences in World War II."" Reina Pennington, author of Wings, Women, and War: Soviet Airwomen in World War II Combat
