This is a wonderful book. The title is a clear play on Tolstoy's masterpiece about the previous invasion of Russia, but so what? I was introduced to it by a dear friend whose father was purged by Stalin so it's doubly poignant.

I think this range is much larger than what you have in "War and Peace". An awe-inspiring book... (I read the book as series of publications in a soviet literary journal some thirty years ago, time moves fast if you come to think of it)
