Despite the great popularity in cinema and fiction, the documentary activity of Soviet army reconnaissance during the Great Patriotic War has not been practically considered, and its heroic achievements are hidden under a veil of myths and legends, primarily born by modern cinematography. The new book by a well-known military historian on the materials of not only Russian but also foreign archives shows the real actions of intelligence units of the Red Army. Readers will get acquainted with the equipment and training of army scouts, various aspects of service, selection of personnel in the reconnaissance units, their training and material support, as well as with those problems of Soviet army intelligence, which it faced at the beginning of the war and ways to overcome them in the course of hostilities. The author shows that the taking of intelligence "tongues" was not a private initiative, but part of a strategic system to determine the grouping of the enemy, both on the entire front and in its separate areas. The book contains descriptions of individual reconnaissance searches that ended with varying results. Readers will be able to learn how they were prepared, conducted and what feats and tragedies were in the lives of the heroes of Soviet army reconnaissance, whose names still arrive in obscurity. In addition, the book describes the actions of the Wehrmacht army intelligence as an enemy of the Red Army. Its activities are also still a "white spot" in the history of the war on the Eastern Front. The reader will be able to understand how formidable an opponent for the Soviet troops were German reconnaissance groups.
