Opis

On 8 September 1941, 11 weeks after Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, Leningrad was surrounded. The siege would not end for 2 and a half years and as many as 2 million Soviet lives would be lost. This narrative history is interwoven with personal stories of daily siege life drawn from diarists and memoirists on both sides.
