Russian cavalry attack German tanks outside the city of Smolensk in September, 1942. This dramatic photograph comes from a new collection of wartime pictures by Russian photographers.

The collection is “The Russian War,” edited by Daniela Mrazkova and Vladimir Remes, with a short text by the English historian, A. J. P. Taylor (Jonathan Cape, 143 pp. $18.95).
