内容説明

1942, at the Eastern Front. Soldiers crouch in horrible holes in the ground, mingling with corpses. Tunneled beneath a radio mast, German soldiers await the order to blow themselves up. Russian tanks, struggling to break through enemy lines, bog down in a swamp, while a German runner, bearing messages from headquarters to the front, scrambles desperately from shelter to shelter as he tries to avoid getting caught in the action. Through it all, Russian artillery-the crude but devastatingly effective multiple rocket launcher known to the Germans as the Stalin Organ and to the Russians as Katyusha-rains death upon the struggling troops. Comparable to such masterpieces of war literature as Ernst Junger's Storm of Steel and Erich Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, The Stalin Front, which was originally published under the title The Stalin Organ, is a harrowing, almost photographic, description of violence and devastation, one that brings home the unforgiving reality of total war.
