"A vivid and enlightening account of the Russian people in 1942 - the people who again and again have amazed the world by turning back the ruthless and powerful German Army. This book tells what those people are like and explains how and why they have been able to archive military miracles. It tells how they live in this war - how men, women, and children work and fight; how, whenever they can, they enjoy themselves; what they read and what they believe in; what they are fighting to preserve and to archive; what changes the war has brought about."
