DJ has been cut to blurbs and pasted inside front cover. Owner bookplate neatly pasted to front endpaper. Translated from the Russian by Joseph Barnes. "So far as the publishers know, this is the first non-political serious novel to come out of the Soviet Union. The characters are simple, believable human beings, whose souls belong neither to Dostoyevsky nor to Karl Marx, but to themselves and to their country. The setting is the massive and terrible struggle for Staligrad, where Russia turned the Nazi tide and, possibly, won the war as much as any single battle won it. It is the tale of seventy days and nights in which a young red Army officer seized and held three apartment houses in Staligrad, unmasked and killed a traitor, learned the skills of house-to-house fighting with heavy modern weapons, fell deeply in love with a Red Army nurse, and wrestled with the problems of leading men through defeat into hearbreakingly hopeless battle.
