The name of Anatoly Azolsky has long become a brand. It is known not only to readers, but also to television viewers. Azolsky's works are always distinguished by a complex, adventurous plot and action-packed plot. Many of them have earned high literary awards; films are made based on them, which become bestsellers. The author of the acclaimed “Saboteur” presents his new, no less exciting, novel “Blood”. Penetrating deeply into the psychology of war, Azolsky pursues the idea that military conditions equalize opponents, after which they have a feeling of war as a grave nightmare, “collective self-destruction of people.” Having become commonplace, war begins to seem endless and loses its original meaning. And at this stage, another form of confrontation develops - no longer with the enemy, but with the war itself.
