The Soviet Union talked about a "peacekeeping" mission, while the dead were shipped back in zinc-lined coffins. In this new translation, Zinky Boys weaves together the candid and affecting testimony of the officers and grunts, doctors and nurses, mothers, sons, and daughters who describe the war and its lasting effects. A "masterpiece of reportage" (Timothy Snyder, New York Review of Books) emerges of harrowing and unforgettable insight into war.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 211mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 243gAuthor: Svetlana AlexievichTranslator: Andrew BromfieldContributor: Andrew Bromfield (Translated by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
