This book is a chronological narrative of the experiences of Evgenii Moniushko, who lived through
and survived the first year of the siege of Leningrad and who served as a junior officer in the Red
Army during the last eighteen months of war and the first year of the Soviet occupation of
Czechoslovakia and Hungary.
It represents an intensely human view of daily army life both in combat and garrison duty and unique perspectives on the conditions he and other junior officers and common soldiers endured while in army service.
