Malcolm Grow's commentary presents us with a fascinating personal account of wartime experience, one that highlights a number of pertinent issues of Russia's experience of total war. While military historiography is replete with studies of battle plans and strategies, troop movements, numbers of casualties, territorial gains, and decisions of state actors, war is so much more than these, as a fundamentally human experience.
