"Like all memoirs, the book is autobiographical. The author tells us of his needy childhood, of his life as a pesant boy apprenticed when he barely turned eleven, of his service in the tsarist army & then of his participation in the First World War. He also tells us how he, along with millions of other working-class & peasant lads, defended the Soviet Republic against counter-revolutionaries & foreign interventionists. He tells us how the great October Socialist Revolution opened new, broad vistas for themn, how it brought them wide opportunities and helped them develop their gifts & abilities in the later years of peaceful endeavour in which the nation built a socialost society. But the centrepiece of the book is the depiction of the Great Patrliotic War of the Soviet people of 1941 - 1945." Check out the scans. . First English Edition. Hard Cover.
