Description
Catherine Merridale's Ivan's War is a powerful and moving account of the Russian soldier's experience during World War II. Drawing on previously unseen archives, including letters, diaries, and police reports, Merridale sheds light on the lives of ordinary soldiers who were often overlooked in accounts of the war. Their stories are ones of courage, patriotism, anger, and fear, set against a backdrop of unimaginable hardship and brutality. The book also explores how these veterans were treated with ingratitude and exploitation after the war, and how their experiences continue to shape Russia today. Through Merridale's masterful narrative, we gain a deeper understanding of the human cost of war and the complexities of Russian history during this period.
