And the Dawns Here Are Quiet...

Five very young female anti-aircraft gunners, under the leadership of a sergeant, enter into an unequal battle with a group of German saboteurs. This great, yet unrepresented in the military events reports, feat is told in the tale «And the Dawns Here Are Quiet...» – a masterpiece of Russian «military prose», one of the most poignant and tragic works about the Great Patriotic War. The action of the tale «Tomorrow Was a War» takes place on the eve of the Great Patriotic War. It is a story about schoolchildren, their coming of age, their first moral choices and resistance, a story about graduates who will soon have to take up arms and go to the front – to defend the Motherland.
