Great read Dec 01, 2009
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A true story that you would not believe - the account of an American serving in the Red Army fighting against the Germans. I would definitely recommend you read this!
A most remarkable story Oct 11, 2009
I can't imagine that there is another story quite like this, this big and this dramatic, and it's all true. At a time in history when immigrants were still flooding into the U.S., a young Nicholas went with his family back to their native Russia when his father answered the call to return to the motherland. When the Germans attacked the U.S.S.R., Nicholas, though still underaged, found his way into the Red Army and quickly became a commander of an elite group of tankists trained to get behind enemy lines and wreak havoc. This is the kind of big story, an epic that some filmmaker will undoubtedly make for the big screen. I just hope that Nicholas is hard at work at Volume Two.
remarkable Oct 08, 2009
History always was a subject of interpretation and distortion, but in that book we could see the point of view not from outside the circumstances, but from inside what really existed, from inside what really happened. Written not by academic complicated language, but by the language filled with a real life. And it is really remarkable.
Would be interested to read continuing in the next additional publications.

Love and War: An American Volunteer in the Soviet Red Army" by M.J. Nicholas, smacks home the vivid atrocities of war and brings the reader face to face with the realities of death and survival during World War II. Throughout the book beginning with his early childhood in Pennsylvania, his upbringing in New York City and then his enlistment in the Soviet Red Army, he chronicles how fate keeps placing him in situations which further involve him in history's most vicious war mankind has ever witnessed. Nicholas manages to maintain his spark of hope and compassion even through though death sets its trap at every turn. His accuracy of history is stunning. When is Book Two available?

5,0 out of 5 stars A true story, September 30, 2009
By S.Ryabicheva (Boston, MA, USA)
The tale of love and war is warm, human and full of both
the genuine decency of it`a author, which shines through
every page, and the horror of the carnage he so movingly
describes. Here you have a story of a very unusual life,
lived through the bloodiest war in the history of humankind
and the Depression years of his childhood leading up to it.
My hope is that it will convey to future generations the terrible
price paid by ordinary People swept up in war.
I`d like to know what happened to Nicholas from November
1943 to May 1945.
