For the Motherland! for Stalin! - A Red Army Officer's Memoir of the Eastern Front

A compelling memoir that covers the period from the German invasion in 1941 (when, as a 16 year old the author was evacuated from Odessa to stay with relatives on a collective farm outside Moscow) up until 1946 when, after "helping" with the elections to the Supreme Soviet in western Ukraine, the author managed to gain a place at the Military Law Academy in Moscow.

About the author

Boris Bogachev retired from the Soviet Army in 1984 as a much-decorated colonel.

Summary
