Hot Snow. Bondarev Yu.

Hot Snow is one of the most honest books about the Great Patriotic War, written by its direct participant. The novel takes place on the Stalingrad Front - where Yuri Bondarev himself took his first battle, then the lieutenant, later the famous writer and classic of military prose.

under Stalingrad, the artillery battery stood up to death, blocking the path of the tank divisions of General Manstein. Here and now, young artillerymen are creating a story: the success of the Battle of Stalingrad depends on the outcome of the operation and, perhaps, even the outcome of the war.

Funny frosty dawn, a cycle of blood and horror, the desire to survive, the inability to retreat... And among all this, a simple desire to love and be loved, which is stronger than the fear of death and approaching German tanks, is warming in the souls of heroes.
