The Nazi army's own DIRTY DOZEN--a convict battalion commanded to ravage and kill! Sven Hassel's iconic war novel about the Russian Front. Convicted of deserting the German army, Sven Hassel is sent to a penal regiment on the Russian Front. He and his comrades are regarded as expendable, cannon fodder in the battle against the implacable Red Army. Outnumbered and outgunned, they fight their way across the frozen steppe... This iconic anti-war novel is a testament to the atrocities suffered by the lone soldier in the fight for survival. Sven Hassel's unflinching narrative is based on his own experiences in the German Army. He began writing Legion of the Damned in a prisoner of war camp at the end of World War II. "Rough honesty"--Commonwealth "An extraordinary book, which has captured the attention of all of Europe."--New York Times "Legion of the Damned is an incredible picture of totalitarianism, of stupefying injustice...He is graphic, at times brilliantly so, but never brutal or bitter. He is, too, a first-rate storyteller."--Washington Post 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns$zRussia (Federation)$vFiction 606 $aWar stories 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns 615 0$aWar stories. 676 $a839.813/74 700 $aHassel$b Sven$f1917-2012,$0466850 702 $aMichael$b Maurice$f1909-1998, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156460503321 996 $aThe Legion of The Damned$93407180 997 $aUNINA
