A stonking good read. This is a realistic portrayal of the 1941 Eastern Front and one soldier`s experience of it. He is beset by dangers on all sides and involves the reader every step of the way. Author Marshall`s knowledge is encyclopaedic and his style keeps one riveted throughout. More please!
Compelling reading. .
