About the book: 1972 / Line of fire... This is not only a military term meaning the line from which soldiers shoot, comprehending army skills, and not only the line of fire, with which Soviet soldiers went on the attack and crushed the fascist invaders during the Great Patriotic War. The line of fire has always passed and continues to pass between us and our ideological opponents. There, not for a single day, not for a single hour, do the “shots” stop, and the struggle does not subside. And in the forefront of it are Soviet journalists, writers and many other faithful fighters of our glorious Communist Party - soldiers of the ideological front. This important and pressing topic of our time lies at the heart of Semyon Borzunov’s book “On the Line of Fire.” It is about military affairs, military exploits and the destinies of people whom the author was lucky enough to meet on the long and dangerous roads of the front. Work together with some - the ubiquitous correspondents - in divisional, army and front-line newspapers. With others - to carry out various combat missions of the command: hold the defense, repel fierce attacks of the enemy, go on the offensive... These are ordinary soldiers, sergeants, sergeants majors and officers - the main and decisive force of the war, those who defeated the Hitler machine and hoisted the banner of Victory over the Reichstag. The author of the book met others in the literary field after the war..
