What readers of Born Under a Lucky Star say:“Gripping and humbling read.” - Goodreads Reviewer“This book taught me a great deal, and I feel lucky to have read it.” - Goodreads Reviewer“Possibly, one of the best WW2 books Ive ever read, and Ive read a great many. Also, a tremendous example of how to live life. Remarkable story!” - Amazon Reviewer“A startling recount of privation and duty. The author was a very brave soldier in defense of his people and their land.”- Amazon Reviewer“This is one of the more compelling memoirs of a WWII soldier that I have read.”- Amazon ReviewerHistory is written by the victors, but the harsh reality of war can only be depicted by its soldiers.As a Russian recruit in World War II, Ivan Makarov witnessed General Chuikov pull out his pistol and shoot their regimental commander as a traitor. That was on his first day at the front.Thrown into an open field to face German tanks and artillery fire, with only rifles and machine guns to defend themselves with, almost 2,000 men of his regiment were wiped out in only six days at the Eastern Front. At this rate, Ivan struggled to comprehend how he would survive the hundreds of battles that lay before him, with death seeming to be the only certainty.In his raw and trenchant memoir, Ivan recounts the terror and despair faced by a Red Army soldier on the Eastern Front.He has no sympathy for Stalin and his incompetent commanders, who sought awards and recognition at the expense of their soldiers’ lives. He simply wanted to serve his country.It is rare to find first-hand accounts of the Great Patriotic War from Red Army soldiers, as many did not survive to tell the tale. For the first time, Ivan reveals his gripping recollections of battles, times, places, and people encountered throughout World War II, from when he was drafted in 1941 until their victory in 1945.These recollections he dared not put on paper until 1992.About the AuthorIvan Makarov was my grandfather on my mother’s side. He was a veteran of the Great Patriotic War. From my childhood, I remember that he loved to tell stories about the war-about his childhood and life. Ivan also had an old typewriter and was constantly typing on it. In early 2000, he came to visit us, gave a bundle of printed stories to my mother, and said, “These are my memoirs of the war. One day, you should publish a book. Let people know the real truth about the war, as all my life, I have never seen the real war portrayed in any book or movie.”There are hardly any accounts detailing what the war was like for a Red Army soldier from the front line, especially in the first years. A profoundly changed man returned from there. Those who managed to return, as a rule, did not like and could not recount the real events that had transpired, and many of the Russian military documents of those years are still inaccessible to the public.Ivan wrote these stories from 1992 to 1998, after the Soviet Union collapsed and it became possible to talk about what had really happened openly. Before this time, he could easily go to prison for such writings. This book is a collection of individual stories. These events Ivan recalls in detail, from Stalingrad to Germany. During the first half of the war, Ivan was a machine gunner and a regimental scout during the second. He talks about what he saw and experienced during the war and what difficulties were faced by ordinary soldiers. Ivan describes how he was captured by the Germans, escaped, and returned to the Red Army, and how he served in the machine gun company once more. Later, he was assigned to the army’s intelligence.
