"As Vasily, Kitz, and the rest pick up the pieces in the wake of their commander's desertion, their recollections provide unprecedented insight into the development of the mobile suits and the outbreak of war with the Federation. Unfolding with the franchise's classic mix of action and pathos, we see events--including the decisive battle for Jaburo--entirely from the Zeon perspective, with the Gundam itself forever looming in the background as a silent, unstoppable foe."--Back cover.
