      About This Book

      Sven Hassel's iconic anti-war novel about the Russian Front.

      'An extraordinary book, which has captured the attention of all of Europe' NEW YORK TIMES
      'An incredible picture of totalitarianism, of stupefying injustice . . . Hassel is a first-rate storyteller' WASHINGTON POST

      Convicted of deserting the German army, Sven Hassel is sent to a penal regiment on the Russian Front. He and his comrades are regarded as expendable, cannon fodder in the battle against the implacable Red Army. Outnumbered and outgunned, they fight their way across the frozen steppe...

      Clear-eyed and unflinching, this iconic anti-war novel based on Hassel's real-life experiences in the German Army is a testament to the atrocities suffered by the lone soldier in the fight for survival.
