An author represents war to such, what saw her young infantry lieutenant, without decorations and false heroism. This book can someone show oneself rather rude, but the real war is always rough and cruel, and an army environment is a not institute of noble maidens. Protagonists - it those, who broiled under a burning merciless sun and frozen solid to the bones on to snow| those, who kneaded knee-boots dirt and sand on dusty roads and crept по-пластунски, hammering together in blood of hand and leg at stones.Dedicated to the most usual officers, ensigns, non-commission officers and soldiers, people militating not on maps and charts in silence of comfortable cabinets, and up-front, in any weather and at any time day and night.Every word is careful thought out, every detail is truthful, after her reality of пережитого is felt. An author passes the atmosphere of Афгана and mood of heroes, and "black" humour peculiar to the people very brightly, being in heavy situations, appropriate.Read the first book of author, by her continuously the second follows: "Бой under Талуканом".
