Description:

Two Russians, a teenage looter, and an army deserter, face death penalties for their crimes during the brutal siege of Leningrad by the Nazis during World War II. A Russian Colonel offers them a reprieve on one condition: they must find a dozen eggs for his daughter`s wedding cake--a difficult, perhaps deadly task in the chaos of the war. The two men embark on their unlikely quest into the nearby farmlands, and find themselves plotting to murder the local Nazi commander. This thrilling and delightfully unexpected tale is based in part on the wartime stories of author David Benioff`s grandfather.

Another war story

reader5 from RETIRED MICHIGAN, Aug 13, 2009

Another story on the horrors of war. Good story but not great.
