This book follows the lives of a few Soviet soldiers as they wage war across West Germany. It is written entirely from their point of view as they race across northern West Germany to meet their objectives.

I found the book interesting and at times riveting as the various soldiers reacted to the realities of war. The writing style of Ralph Peters tends to be a narrative rather than actual dialog between characters, whcih at times is very dry. IMOHO, if there was more dialog between the characters, it would have made for a more exciting read.
