Unread but slight foxing on top edge. The experience of the ordinary Russian soldier at the heart of the war on the Eastern Front. Ivan, the archetypal Russian infantryman, emerges as a human figure from official records and the testimonies of hundreds of surviving witnesses. The author found reports on morale by the NKVD, Stalin's secret police, medical surveys of illness and wounds (and denial of the reality of shell shock), and confiscated letters that said unguarded things about Stalin and sent their authors to punishment battalions. She tries to understand how soldiers could fight so doggedly and for so long for a regime that treated them like cannon fodder.

Mass market paperback. Creasing on spine but very good. The author jumped from a train carrying POW's in 1943 having been in captivity for over a year. Italian anti-fascists harboured and fed him, first in a remote mountain village and then in Rome itself. For months he posed as a deaf-mute and member of the Fascist Youth in order to dodge German patrols and the Italian secret Police until the liberation of Rome brought GI's flooding onto the streets.
