"For the Right Cause" (1943-1952, publ. 1952) - the first part of the "Stalingrad" dilogy of Vasily Grossman, better known to the reader by its second novel, "Life and Fate" (1950-1959, publ. 1980), which brought the author worldwide fame. Growing out of the real frontline experience Grossman - war correspondent for the newspaper "Red Star", personally involved in the battles on the front line of defense of Stalingrad - this book on release was subjected to scathing criticism in party circles, which turned into a real travesty of the writer and predetermined the difficult publishing fate of the second part of the dilogy. Today this novel, capturing the pain and losses of the first years of the war, stands in a row with the best examples of domestic prose, filled with "trench truth" about the great battle, such as "Days and Nights" and "The Living and the Dead" by K. Simonov, "In the Trenches of Stalingrad" by V. Nekrasov, "Hot Snow" by Y. Bondarev. Grossman has created a book in the epic tradition of Leo Tolstoy: behind the life stories of dozens of people - from a simple soldier and a worker to an academic and a military leader - you can feel the mighty breath of a great History, forever changed millions of human destinies.
