Hitler invades the Soviet Union. Vasily Grossman soon begins a new career as a war reporter.\u003cbr\u003eDuring the next four years, he covered all the major battles of the Eastern Front, from Stalingrad to Berlin, writing brutally vivid reports that were read by millions of soldiers and civilians alike. And as the war drew to a close, he was one of the first to expose the horrors of the Treblinka death camp.\u003cbr\u003eGrossman had a remarkable memory and the ability to win the trust of men and women from all walks of life: snipers, generals, fighter pilots, peasants, soldiers in a Soviet penal battalion, and German prisoners of war. Not many reporters are able to write so vividly, and with such understanding, about world-changing events while they are still unfolding.\u003cbr\u003eThis collection brings together the best of the forty-nine articles Grossman wrote for the \u003ci\u003eRed Star\u003c\/i\u003e newspaper, many in newly unearthed versions that have not been distorted by censors.
