Title: Ivan's War
Product review: Merridale's writing of the ordinary and typical Russian soldier (Ivan) comes as close as anything I have read that describes the torment, sacrifice and deception that the Russian soldier went through in WW II. It is the most fascinating account of not only the Russian military involvement but also a magnificent portrayal of the Russian culture as it truly existed in 1941.It simply is a MUST READ ! Don't deprive yourself by passing it over. At some point in the book take note of Konstantine Simonov's poem "Wait for me and I shall Return": then look it up on internet. That's the spirit of Russians who endured the incredible.I.Shwabe
