From 1979 to 1989, a million Soviet troops engaged in a devastating
war in Afghanistan that claimed 50,000 casualties-and the youth and
humanity of many tens of thousands more. 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. What
emerges is a "masterpiece of reportage" (Timothy Snyder, New York
Review of Books) that offers a unique, harrowing, and unforgettably
powerful insight into the realities of war. In their Nobel
citation, the Swedish Academy called "her polyphonic writings, a
monument to suffering and courage in our time." "Alexievich serves
no ideology, only an ideal: to listen closely enough to the
ordinary voices of her time to orchestrate them into extraordinary
books." -Philip Gourevitch, New Yorker
