This book was part of the War and Literature Readalong 2012
It is set in 1942 on the Eastern front and deals comprehensively with the experiences of the German and Russian soldiers. Ledig is writing of his own experience, albeit fictionalised in stark, bleak and precise prose. There are no heroes just men on both sides trying to stay alive.
It is a book which resonates long after you've finished reading it. ...more
