If you want to learn something of the experience of infantry fighting on the Eastern front in World War II, this book is essential reading. It is not a study of Nazis vs. Communists in Russia; instead, it conveys the grit of battle and the insanity of the struggle between two gargantuan armies locked in a death struggle. It opens in 1942 (not the beginning in June of 1941 of the German invasion of Russia) and concludes in May 1945, when Nazi Germany surrendered. It is 400+ pages of wrenching reading.
