About this product
Product Information
Cross Of Iron is the thrilling story of a German platoon cut off far behind Russian lines in the second half of World War II. A resourceful and cynical commander somehow manages to coax his men through the bitter hand-to-hand fighting in forests, trenches and city streets until eventually they regain the German lines. But safety is only temporary. After the tension of waiting for the last overwhelming Russian advance the platoon is forced into futile counter-attacks and murderous house-to-house fighting until its final decimation becomes inevitable. A modern classic of war fiction both as a book and a film, this is a strikingly realistic story of action on the Eastern Front where the grimness of combat seems to have neither pity nor end.Product Identifiers

A humbling story, leaves you thinking that things aren't so bad.
An excellent book that was written by an eye witness, Cross of Iron describes the resilience of an almost exhausted and bitter group of soldiers when facing insurmountable odds in Russia during WW2 and the personal struggles that occur even when all trying to work together even if it is not for the same ends. You know how things are going to end up but throughout the book there is always the hope that something better is going to turn up. It's a good read that doesn't get bogged down in the minutiae of military things that many modern authors who don't have actual experience tend to get sidetracked by.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
