Publisher's Summary

In 1941, Russian-born British journalist Alexander Werth observed the unfolding of the Soviet-German conflict with his own eyes. What followed was the widely acclaimed book, Russia at War, first printed in 1964. At once a history of facts, a collection of interviews, and a document of the human condition, Russia at War is a stunning, modern classic that chronicles the savagery and struggles on Russian soil during the most incredible military conflict in modern history.

As a behind-the-scenes eyewitness to the pivotal, shattering events as they occurred, Werth chronicles with vivid detail the hardships of everyday citizens, massive military operations, and the political movements toward diplomacy as the world tried to reckon with what they had created. Despite its sheer historical scope, Werth tells the story of a country at war in startlingly human terms, drawing from his daily interviews and conversations with generals, soldiers, peasants, and other working class civilians. The result is a unique and expansive work with immeasurable breadth and depth, built on lucid and engaging prose, that captures every aspect of a terrible moment in human history.

Russia's story

Author tells the story of second world war from Russia's point of view and his great love for Russia comes through everywhere. But the book was written in the 1960s and may feel dated in parts. There are some micro insights from the authors visits to various Russian cities and to the front during the war but I did not feel they added too much to the story. I had high expectations and I have to say I was slightly underwhelmed. I feel like I am being a bit generous with the 4, but I think this story deserves to be heard especially as the world needs to reminded of what they owe the Russian people for the victory in the second world war.
