Description
Book SynopsisThe German seige and Soviet defence of Leningrad in World War II was an epic struggle in an epic war, a drama of heroism and human misery unmatched in the annals of modern warfare. This work provides a military history of the conflict waged beyond the city's borders.
Trade ReviewAn original and important contribution not only to the battle for Leningrad but also to a wider understanding of the Great Patriotic War. Drawing upon previously unavailable or neglected Soviet and German sources, it provides a major corrective to the shortcomings of previous accounts and will stand as a significant and durable achievement on a subject that continues to fascinate. John Erickson, Author Of The Road To Stalingrad; ""An outstanding contribution to the study of the Second World War as it was fought on the Eastern Front."" Malcolm Mackintosh, Author Of Juggernauti A History Of Soviet Armed Forces; ""An exceptional work on one of the great campaigns of World War II,"" James S.
