The collapse of the Soviet Union has opened the history of the Red Army to the West, providing a more complex picture of World War II than was previously available. Details of the struggle between the Soviet forces and the Axis powers can now be seen through the efforts of veterans such as Colonel Dmitriy Loza. Loza draws on his own experiences and those of acquaintances to illustrate particular problems, combat situations, and the functioning of the Soviet Army in its struggle with the German and Japanese armies.

" ... in this book the author examines aspects of the Red Army's organization and combat performance in a series of discrete chapters... [it] contains valuable insights into issues as diverse as medical treatment, combat vehicle maintenance and command styles in the Soviet armed forces of 1941-45. These are important topics, and the dearth of reliable first hand accounts in English from the former Soviet Union makes the book particularly important."--The Wish Stream, Summer 1999
