September 1942. The troops of Nazi Germany and its allies are uncontrollably rushing towards the Caucasian oil fields. The Turkish army is already ready, if they succeed, to deliver a decisive blow to the USSR. It seems that not a single force in the whole world is capable of stopping the Nazi death machine... But such a force arises in the ruins of Novorossiysk, almost completely wiped off the face of the earth as a result of fierce battles of the Red Army against the vastly superior troops of the fascist occupiers. For the defenders and residents of the city, the streets destroyed by enemies become the last frontier, where they have to make the only right choice - win at any cost or lose everything. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in military literature and the history of the legendary Novorossiysk confrontation of 1942-1943, which radically turned the tide of the battle for the Caucasus in favor of the USSR and, as a consequence, predetermined the outcome of the entire Great Patriotic War.
