Работу над романом Они сражались за Родину Михаил Шолохов начал ещё в 1942 году и с перерывами продолжал до 1969 года.

Но даже в неполном виде роман «Они сражались за Родину» оказывает невероятное впечатление на читателя, ведь Шолохов с поразительной достоверностью показывает обстановку в рядах Красной Армии в первые годы войны, мысли простых солдат, тяжело переживающих отступление, и как вчерашние мирные граждане постепенно превращались в закаленных бойцов, готовых защищать родной дом любой ценой.
