Synopsis
This is the horror of World War II on the Eastern Front, as seen through the eyes of a teenaged German soldier. At first an exciting adventure, young Sajer's war becomes, as the German invasion falters in the icy vastness of the Ukraine, a simple, desperate struggle for survival against cold, hunger, and above all the terrifying Soviet artillery. As a member of the elite Gross Deutschland Division, he fought in all the great battles, from Kursk to Kharkov.

Review
Sajer is blunt in explaining his reason for sharing his experiences: to reanimate, with all the intensity I can summon, those distant cries from the slaughterhouse. He succeeds in doing just that. . . . This book will remain relevant because it explores the psychology of the soldier at war.
"May well be accorded equal respect with "War and Peace " as the masterpiece reporting war s reality."
"I don t think that anyone who reads [it] to the end will ever forget it."
"May be the book about World War II which has been so long awaited."
"A work of soul."
"Eloquent . . . powerful . . . Critics have likened it to "All Quiet on the Western Front"."
"Transcends language and nationality to address the human race."
"Few memoirs can compare with this work in range of feeling, depths of self-analysis, or vivid recounting of combat. This exception book is highly recommended."
"Must be read. . . . An enduring indictment of the evil of war and what it does to man."
"May well be accorded equal respect with War and Peace as the masterpiece reporting war's reality."--David Douglas Duncan, photojournalist and author of This is War! and War Without Heroes
--David Douglas Duncan (06/05/2017)
Book Description
The powerful chronicle of a young German soldier trapped in the vast, faceless anonymity of total war, hailed as the most powerful indictment of war since ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. A tremendous best-seller and critical success in France and Germany, the Phoenix Press edition has a new introduction by Doris Lessing. A young man with a French father but a German mother is inducted into the Wermacht in the summer of 1942. He could just as easily have become a French soldier. Following his initial excitement, the book becomes a horrifying chronicle of misery, cold, fear, starvation and disillusionment. The Forgotten Soldier is one of those few classic accounts of an individual\'s experience of an international anguish. The single most harrowing and incredible account of war that you are ever likely to read. Seller Inventory # AMPLE0933852827
