For the third time "August 1914" by Solzhenitsyn. The tale of the incompetence and backwardness of the Russian military in the First World War. The author clearly loves his country and his people and gives a moving portrayal of the common soldier. On the officers and generals he is very hard and few can be said to have been either competent or honorable.
