When the Germans invaded Russia in 1941  Vasily Grossman became a special correspondent for the Red Star  the Red Armys newspaper. A Writer at War  based on the notebooks in which Grossman gathered raw material for his articles  depicts the crushing conditions on the Eastern Front  and the lives and deaths of soldiers and civilians alike. It also includes some of the earliest reportage on the Holocaust.
