Summary

At a time when 40% of Americans have forgotten that the U.S. and the Soviet Union were allies during World War II, Remembering War comes as a timely and evocative reminder of that critical alliance. This unique Soviet-American memoir offers an unprecedented dialogue among two peoples who present recollections of both shared and contrasting experiences, of mutual respect and distrust. 150 halftones.
