War, Sorrow, Hope, and Youth: A Memoir:

by Villi Vulikh, Michael Wulick (Compiler), Anna Wulick (Translator)

Overview

After enlisting at 17 in the Red Army, Villi Vulikh fought in some of the most intense front lines of World War II. In this wry, gimlet-eyed memoir, he unflinchingly reflects on the chaos, glory, brutality, and delight in store for a young man living through one of 20th century's most wrenching conflicts. Edited and translated by his son and granddaughter, this eyewitness account of the cataclysmic events of the 1930s and '40s is an indelible record of an unforgettable voice -- heart wrenching, funny, and deeply life affirming.
