History

The people of Leningrad endured everything that the German Army could throw at them and, by their success, blocked Hitler's ambition to rule Europe. Nearly 4000 starved to death on Christmas Day, 1941. All battles during the siege are extensively covered and the book contains previously unpublished photos from Soviet sources, first hand accounts and colour maps showing deployment of German and Soviet forces.
