On Sunday, June 22, 1941, the morning after Katusha's graduation,
the Germans invade the Soviet Union. As enemy forces occupy Kiev,
Ukraine, Katusha and her family learn the Nazis are not there to
liberate them from harsh communist rule, but to conquer. They
discover there is a special danger for the Jews, and in saving her
friend Zhenya Gersteinfeld, Katusha finds her whole family in
danger. During the next four years, Katusha experiences the war on
the Eastern Front with all its ferocity and hardship: first as a
partisan, then as a Red Army tank driver and commander. From
Barbarossa to Babi Yar, from Stalingrad to Kursk, from the Dnipro
to Berlin, follow the footprints and tanks tracks of Katusha's
journey through a time of death, hopelessness, victory, glory, and
even love. Seen through the eyes of a Ukrainian teenage girl,
Katusha is both a coming-of-age story and a carefully researched
account of one of the most turbulent and important periods of the
twentieth century, where women served in the hundreds of thousands,
and Russians died by the millions.
