Germany's war against the Soviet Union raised a small army of child soldiers.          Thousands of those below the enlistment age served with regular and paramilitary        formations, even though they were not formally mobilised or allowed at the front.          For several decades after the war, these youngsters played an important part in        Soviet remembrance culture, though their true experiences were obscured by the myth        of the Great Patriotic War.Situated at the crossroads of social, cultural, and        military history, Little Soldiers is the first to tell the story of the Soviet        Union's child soldiers in a critical and systematic fashion. Focusing on the        mechanisms and psychological consequences of propaganda on Soviet children, as well        as their combat deployment, Kucherenko adopts a three-tier approach to writing the        history of childhood: 'from above', 'from below', and 'from within'. A wide variety        of new sources provide insightinto young soldiers' combat motivations and the roles        they played in the field, as well as their routine experiences and relationship with        older comrades. Far from being victims, Soviet child soldiers emerge as independent        social actors capable of making choices about their behaviour .Little Soldiers        interconnects with matters of increasing importance: the role of propaganda in        military conflicts, the totalization of warfare, child-soldiering, and social        reflexivity.
