Winner of the Nobel Prize: “For her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.” ―Swedish Academy, Nobel Prize citation
From 1979 to 1989 a million Soviet troops engaged in a devastating war in Afghanistan that claimed 50,000 casualties―and the youth and humanity of many tens of thousands more. Creating controversy and outrage when it was first published in the USSR―it was called by reviewers there a “slanderous piece of fantasy” and part of a “hysterical chorus of malign attacks”―Zinky Boys presents the candid and affecting testimony of the officers and grunts, nurses and prostitutes, mothers, sons, and daughters who describe the war and its lasting effects. What emerges is a story that is shocking in its brutality and revelatory in its similarities to the American experience in Vietnam. The Soviet dead were shipped back in sealed zinc coffins (hence the term “Zinky Boys”), while the state denied the very existence of the conflict. Svetlana Alexievich brings us the truth of the Soviet-Afghan War: the beauty of the country and the savage Army bullying, the killing and the mutilation, the profusion of Western goods, the shame and shattered lives of returned veterans. Zinky Boys offers a unique, harrowing, and unforgettably powerful insight into the realities of war.

　　1948年出生的阿列克谢耶维奇，毕业于明斯克大学新闻学系, 是当今世界文坛一位极其重要的纪实文学作家。她用与当事人访谈的方式写作纪实文学，记录了二次世界大战、阿富汗战争、苏联解体、切尔诺贝利事故等人类历史上重大的事件。因为独立报道和批判风格，她的独立新闻活动曾受到前苏联政府限制，代表作《锌皮娃娃兵》曾被列为禁书。获2015年诺奖之前，曾多次获得瑞典笔会奖、德国莱比锡图书奖、法国“世界见证人”奖、美国国家书评人奖等世界性大奖。
　　《锌皮娃娃兵》一书书中记录了阿富汗战争中苏联军官、士兵、护士、妻子情人、父母、孩子的回忆，对战争细节做了真实的还原。
　　1979年12月，苏军入侵阿富汗。很快，阿富汗各派游击队逐渐结成联盟，同入侵者和阿富汗政府军展开了游击战争。《锌皮娃娃兵》俄语版在阿富汗战争10周年的时候出版，美国诺顿出版社1992年将该书翻译成英文出版。
　　S.A。阿列克谢耶维奇在谈到她写《锌皮娃娃兵》的愿望时说，她是为了表示抗议，抗议用男性的视角看待战争。“我去了公墓，那里安葬着空降兵。将军们在致悼词，乐队在演奏……我发现，这些成年人都沆瀣一气，只有一个小姑娘的尖声细嗓冲出了其他声音的包围：“爸爸，亲爱的爸爸！你答应我要回来的……”她妨碍了发言，被人从棺材前拉走，像拉走一条小狗。这时我明白了，站在坟墓前的这些人当中，只有这个女孩是个正常人。”
Svetlana Alexievich, a journalist and prose writer, lives in Minsk, Belarus. In 2015 she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
