Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 1942, at the Eastern Front. Soldiers crouch in horrible holes in the ground, mingling with corpses.

Comparable to such masterpieces of war literature as Ernst Jünger's Storm of Steel and Erich Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, The Stalin Front is a harrowing, almost photographic, description of violence and devastation, one that brings home the unforgiving reality of total war.…
