Sven Hassel''s iconic war novel about the Russian Front.

''An extraordinary book, which has captured the attention of all of Europe'' - NEW YORK TIMES

''LEGION OF THE DAMNED is an incredible picture of totalitarianism, of stupefying injustice ... He is graphic, at times brilliantly so, but never brutal or bitter. He is, too, a first-rate storyteller'' - WASHINGTON POST

Sven Hassel''s unflinching narrative is based on his own experiences in the German Army. He began writing his first novel, LEGION OF THE DAMNED in a prisoner of war camp at the end of the Second World War.
