Napadení Sovětského svazu silami Osy dne 22. června 1941 postavilo nacistické Německo a jeho spojence proti Stalinovým silám v titánském boji o přežití. Po boku útočných klínů německých tankových divizí bojovali i vysoce zkušení a schopní veteráni motorizované pěchoty. Proti nim stály sovětské pluky - často špatně vyzbrojené a ještě hůře vycvičené, přesto nesmírně houževnaté a odolné i tváří v tvář strašlivým ztrátám. Tato publikace obsahující výpovědi účastníků, barevné mapy, dobové fotografie a ilustrace se zabývá třemi střety, k nimž došlo v prvních týdnech tažení - krvavou střetnou bitvou u Žlobinu, přetahovanou o trosky zničeného města Smolensk a zdlouhavým bojem na nebezpečně protaženém německém obranném perimetru u Vaskova a Vorošilova. Všechny tyto akce poskytují výstižný pohled na bojovou výkonnost obyčejných vojáků na obou stranách; jejich úspěchy a nezdary určily vývoj 2. světové války na východní frontě.
