Volokolamsk Highway

By Aleksandr Bek

Volokolamsk Highway, originally published in Russian in 1944 and translated into English in 1958, is a gripping war novel by Alexander Bek. Set during WWII, the story unfolds on the Eastern Front as German forces advance towards Moscow. Bek, drawing from his own experiences as a correspondent, vividly portrays the brutality of war, while following a Soviet battalion commander given the daunting task of stalling the Nazis from taking Volokolamsk Highway, the highway to Moscow-at any cost. Based on real events from the Battle of Moscow, this historical novel brings to light the humanity and courage of the soldiers of the highly disciplined and iron-willed Red Army, who laid down their lives to save their socialist homeland and the world from fascism.
