Title: Ivan's War Author: Catherine Merridale Narrator: Derek Perkins Format: mp3 Length: 16 hrs Release date: 08-06-19 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 209 ratings Genres: Russia Publisher's Summary: Of the 30 million who fought in the eastern front of World War II, 8 million died, driven forward in suicidal charges, shattered by German shells and tanks. They were the men and women of the Red Army, a ragtag mass of soldiers who confronted Europe's most lethal fighting force and by 1945 had defeated it. Sixty years have passed since their epic triumph, but the heart and mind of Ivan - as the ordinary Russian soldier was called-remain a mystery. We know something about how the soldiers died, but nearly nothing about how they lived, how they saw the world, or why they fought.
