Ivan's War

Resumen del libro

"Ivan's War" is the first book to put the experience of the ordinary Russian soldier at the heart of a narrative of the war on the Eastern Front, displacing the dictators and their generals who have dominated books on the subject for the past sixty years. Ivan, the archetypal Russian infantryman, emerges at last as a human figure in Catherine Merridale's magnificent and hugely acclaimed new work.
