Description

Sven Hassel's powerful novel about the Russian Front tells the story of a soldier's desperate fight for survival. Convicted of deserting the German army, the protagonist is sent to a penal regiment, where he and his comrades are regarded as expendable. Outnumbered and outgunned, they battle their way across the frozen steppe in a bid to stay alive. Based on the author's own experiences in the German Army, this unflinching narrative is a testament to the atrocities suffered by lone soldiers in the fight for survival. Written in a prisoner of war camp at the end of the Second World War, the book is a graphic and sometimes brutal portrayal of life on the front lines. A gripping and thought-provoking account of war and its effects, Legion of the Damned is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in historical fiction.
