BBC Blurb
A new adaptation for radio of Nobel Prize-winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's
epic story of the first battle of the Eastern Front in 1914 - which was a
disaster for Russia. Solzhenitsyn's book was published in the West one
year after he won the prize - with sections about Lenin omitted. It was only
after his expulsion from the USSR that the complete book was available.

In August 1914, Colonel Vorotyntsev advances into East Prussia in search of
the elusive front line. As he encounters the truth about the German war-machine
his military ideals  rapidly tarnish and he must decide whether to volunteer
his men for certain death or  retreat. At the outbreak of the First World War,
the Russian advance met with catastrophic  results. Bungled orders, poor and
insufficient supplies, out-dated equipment and tactics, and disinformation
resulted in chaos and the near-annihilation of the army at the hands of the
German Army.
