Tank Rider Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Tank Rider is the atmospheric memoir of Evgeni Bessonov telling of his years of service in the vanguard of the Red Army and daily encounters with the German foe. He brings large-scale battles alive, recounts the sniping and skirmishing which tried and tested soldiers on both sides and narrates the overwhelming tragedy and horror of apocalyptic warfare on the Eastern Front.

Synopsis:

Honest and irrepressibly frank, Bessonov's dramatic memoirs reveal just what it was like to fight the Germans on the Eastern Front. There he played a part in this clash of titans and he witnessed the shuddering collapse of the Third Reich. A tank-rider, and officer in an elite Guards unit of the Red Army, Bessonov rode tanks from Kursk, through a western Russia and Poland devastated by the Germans, and right into the heart of Nazi Germany.

Synopsis:

Into the Reich with the Red Army. The dramatic memoirs of a Russian tank-rider on the Eastern Front.
