The Thin Red Line
I was born in the x-USSR republic - The Ukraine. In the USSR the WW II was usually called "The Great Patriotic War", now more and more Ukrainians tend to calling it "World War II".
In school, teachers when telling us about the War always told us about the heroism of the soldiers who stood up to attack shouting loudly "For Stalin!" or "If I die think of me as a communist"... Which of you can imagine your father or grand-father running in attack crying "For Stalin!"? I can't, I can't even believe it.
This book tells the truth which we had never read in the soviet books. You can't think about a stalin facing the coming death, people think about their mothers, fathers, sisters, wives... when they die on the battlefield. Not about a mythological stalin who has never cared and won't ever care about you, about the survived as the Soviet Government didn't after the War, when they sent all the soldiers who lost their legs, arms - families to the Valaam island where they were dying quietly, so that not to spoil the look of the streets in the Soviet cities being rebuilt, as well as not to spoil the "truth" of the handsome officers with a great many of medals on the uniform telling us - the young - fairy tales about the War. Those survived envied the dead, because those survived had no niche in that post-war life. The Motherland didn't reserve any place for them in the post-war peaceful life.
In war people live in a constant desperation and keen desire to survive. That's the simple truth of war, as well as the true is that the memories about the war are all different, since every-one remembers the war in his/her own way.
I felt like wanting to read the book after I watched the film "The Thin Red Line" (1998). Life and death, will to survive - that's the only truth of any war.
And can you imagine how people didn't want to die in the midst of that beautiful tropic nature?..
What any war is about? That's what this book is about.
