It looks like there has been only one English translation by Robert Chandler.
The story of the book is a good read in itself ... The original manuscript was confiscated by KGB officers in 1961. Resurfacing in the West some twenty years later, smuggled out on microfilm, Grossman died in 1964 without having seen it published.

From a March 2008 New Yorker article re: the publication of the Chandler translation:
"Under Siege: A beloved Soviet writer’s path to dissent"

Thanks for the address to the New Yorker article. I read some of it on screen, but when I found it is a rather long article, I printed it out and will read the rest of it soon.
Interesting!!
