An amazing book, worthy of entering the “golden fund” of literature about the Great Patriotic War! Unique memoirs of a front-line intelligence officer who did not have one chance in a million to survive, but he survived to tell the truth about the most terrible war in our history. — Twenty-seven months on the front line, including twenty months in foot, infantry reconnaissance . The rest is in hospitals. The experience of the front was as follows: two or three months of reconnaissance - and for the majority the war ended forever or left the parentheses disabled, crippled, whoever was lucky. It fell to him to live! Only three out of a hundred boys born in 1923 fell to this lot!..-UDC 355/359 BBK 6S
