Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 1st Printing. First printing. Top edge lightly stained, edge wear. 2007 Trade Paperback. xxi, 380 pp. When the Germans invaded Russia in 1941, Vasily Grossman became a special correspondent for the Red Star, the Soviet Army's newspaper, and reported from the frontlines of the war. A Writer at War depicts in vivid detail the crushing conditions on the Eastern Front, and the lives and deaths of soldiers and civilians alike. Witnessing some of the most savage fighting of the war, Grossman saw firsthand the repeated early defeats of the Red Army, the brutal street fighting in Stalingrad, the Battle of Kursk (the largest tank engagement in history), the defense of Moscow, the battles in Ukraine, the atrocities at Treblinka, and much more. Antony Beevor and Luba Vinogradova have taken Grossman's raw notebooks, and fashioned them into a gripping narrative providing one of the most even-handed descriptions --at once unflinching and sensitive -- we have ever had of what Grossman called ?the ruthless truth of war.?.

Deemed unfit for service when the Germans invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Grossman became a special correspondent for The Red Star, the Red Army newspaper. A portly novelist in his mid~thirties with no military experience, he was given a uniform and hastily taught how to use a pistol. Remarkably, he spent three of the next four years at the front, observing with a writer's eye the most pitiless fighting ever recorded. Grossman witnessed almost all the major events on the Eastern Front: the appalling defeats and desperate retreats of 1941, the defense of Moscow, and the fighting in the Ukraine. In August 1942 he was posted to Stalingrad, where he remained during four months of brutal street fighting. Grossman was present at the battle of Kursk (the largest tank engagement in history), and, as the Red Army advanced, he reached Berdichev, where his worst fears for his mother and other relatives were confirmed. A Jew himself, he undertook the faithful recording of Holocaust atrocities as their extent dawned. His supremely powerful report "The Hell of Treblinka" was used in evidence at the Nuremberg tribunal. Grossman's masterpiece, Life and Fate, is regarded by many as the greatest Russian novel of the twentieth century. Among its admirers is Antony Beevor, the best~selling historian of Stalingrad and Berlin. Together with Luba Vinogradova, Beevor has woven Grossman's notebooks into a fluid, compelling narrative that gives us one of the best descriptions~at once unflinching and sensitive~of what Grossman called "the ruthless truth of war." Vasily Grossman (1905~1964) came to be regarded as a hero of World War II on the strength of his war reportage. life and Fate, his novel about the siege of Stalingrad, was written in 1960 but was declared a threat to the Soviet government and was confiscated by the KGB. Grossman was told that there was no chance of the novel being published for another two hundred years. Twenty years later it was smuggled out of the Soviet Union on microfilm and published to wide acclaim in the West.
