Discarded Library Book. DJ synopsis & author's pic pasted inside front. Edge wear, top spine edge frayed, overall content excellent. 501 Pgs. WW II war correspondent, the author was allowed to see more of the Russian front than any other foreign correspondent in Moscow at the time. Her book provides details of the Red Army, its equipment, its morale, its attitude toward the war, its attitude toward the Soviet regime. Civilian life too is clearly illumined as she talks to peasant women in the war-torn fields, to a great ballet dancer who does social work in the daytime, to urban girls working 11 hours a day as welders and crane operators in factories, to a young major general, to wounded soldiers returning from the front, to RAF fliers in the desert, to Polish officers, and also to the great leaders in the United Nations camp. This is the record of the war in terms of human beings - men and women. Description text copyright 2006 BooksForComfort. Item ID 10648.
