К премьере фильма «28 панфиловцев»! Первый правдивый роман о прославленном бое у разъезда Дубосеково, где бойцы дивизии И. В. Панфилова ценой собственных жизней остановили немецкие танки. «Велика Россия, а отступать некуда – позади Москва!» – эти слова политрука Клочкова вошли в легенду. О героях-панфиловцах писали все газеты СССР. На их подвиге воспитывались поколения советских людей. Но в последние годы выяснилось, что картина легендарного боя 16 ноября 1941 года была неполной и что на самом деле всё было куда страшнее и трагичнее, чем могли рассказать военные корреспонденты… Этот роман восстанавливает подлинную историю подвига не только 28 панфиловцев, но всей 316-й дивизии, которая оказалась на острие главного удара Вермахта и, несмотря на огромные потери, не пропустила врага к Москве. Эта книга – земной поклон Советскому Солдату, стоявшему насмерть там, где выстоять было выше человеческих сил!
