Special Group

If you’ve served in the army, you don’t laugh in the circus. Almost everyone knows this hackneyed truth. But can someone who never served understand the real meaning of this aphorism?

In the book by Andrey Zagortsev, you’ll find the harsh prose of officer life during large-scale exercises. A special group has been tasked to carry out a command assignment. There are no doubts: the mission will be failed by lazy staff officers. After all, their opponent is trained and forewarned. But where you can’t win by force, you can use your mind and quick wit—and the solution will be found even in situations that seem utterly hopeless.
