BK143.RED ROAD FROM STALINGRAD
Mansur Abdulin fought in the front ranks of the Soviet infantry against
the German invaders
at Stalingrad, Kursk and on the banks of the Dnieper. This is his extraordinary story.
His vivid inside view of a ruthless war on the Eastern Front gives a rare insight into the
reality
of the fighting and into the tactics and mentality of the Red Army's soldiers. In his own
words,
and with a remarkable clarity of recall, he describes what combat was like on the ground,
face to face with a skilled, deadly and increasingly desperate enemy. The terrifying
moments
of action, the discomfort of existence at the front, the humorous moments, the absurdities
and
cruelties of army organization, and the sheer physical and psychological harshness of the
campaign - all these aspects of a Soviet soldier's experience during the Great Patriotic
War are
brought dramatically to life in Mansur Abdulin's memoirs.
Of special interest is the insight he offers into ordinary operations and daily life in
the lower ranks
of the Soviet army. As he tells his story he reveals much about the thinking of the men,
their attitude
to the war and their loyalties. He also sheds light on the tense relationships between the
disparate
national groups that were thrown together to create a huge fighting force. But most
memorable
are his honest, horrifying descriptions of combat, of being bombed and shelled, of trench
warfare,
of enduring tank attacks and friendly fire, and of coping with the wounded and the dead.
The Author
Mansur Gizzatulovich Abdulin was born a Tatar in Anzhero-Sudzhensk, near Tomsk in central
Siberia,
in 1923. He worked as a miner before volunteering to fight for the Red Army in June 1942.
After
completing his course at the Tashkent infantry school, he fought on the Stalingrad front,
during the
encirclement of the German 6th Army, participated in the bitter, decisive battle at Kursk
and harried
the Germans as they retreated across the Steppes to the banks of the Dnieper river where
he was
seriously wounded. After the war he returned to his work as a miner and he now lives in
retirement at
Novotroitsk near Orenburg in the Urals. 6¼ x 9¼, 224 pages, 50
