Russia's Heroes 1941-1945 by Albert Axell
Nazi Germany threw men and equipment against Russia in unprecedented numbers in World War II. This is the story of the ordinary and extraordinary men and women soldiers of Russia: the snipers who engaged in duels in No Man's Land; Cossack cavalry regiments crossing the ice at night to raid ammunition dumps; pilots out of ammunition using their propellers to cut off the tailplanes of enemy aircraft; and more. Using interviews and primary evidence collected in Russia, Albert Axell tells the story of the Eastern Front as it unfolded, interweaving his accounts of individual exploits with the progress of the war itself.
Albert Axell was born in New England in 1942. He studied history, philosophy and economics at the University of Wisconsin and later worked as a reporter in Alabama, Virginia and Ohio. While in Japan, he was a regular contributor to The Economist and other magazines.
