Viktor Suvorov
The Liberators: My Life in the Soviet Army (1981) by Viktor Suvorov (original Russian title: " Освободитель)" is a non-fiction, personal account of the Soviet Army during the 1960s and 1970s. Drawing from his own experiences, Suvorov (writing under a pseudonym) provides insight into the brutality of a military machine in which soldiers are treated with little regard. A veteran of the Soviet army and intelligence, Suvorov had defected to the United Kingdom in 1978.
