Aleksandr Ivanovich Kuprin (7 September [O.S. 26 August] 1870 in the village of Narovchat in the Penza Oblast - 25 August 1938 in Leningrad) was a Russian writer, pilot, explorer and adventurer who is perhaps best known for his story The Duel (1905). Other well-known works include Moloch (1896), Olesya (1898), "Junior Captain Rybnikov" (1906), "Emerald" (1907), and The Garnet Bracelet (1911) (which was made into a 1965 movie).(wikipedia.org)

The book chronicles the onset of the Great Patriotic War in Ukraine, from the first battles in June 1941 near Lviv (Lemberg) to the catastrophic encirclement of the Soviet troops in "the Kiev Cauldron" in September 1941. Using declassified Soviet and German documents and maps, it traces the path of the 48th combat engineer battalion.
