Overview
The Nazi siege of Leningrad from 1941 to 1944 was one of the most gruesome episodes of World War II. Nearly three million people endured it; just under half of them died. For twenty-five years the distinguished journalist and historian Harrison Salisbury pieced together this remarkable narrative of villainy and survival, in which the city had much to fear-from both Hitler and Stalin.

Library Journal
"A major work, which should be widely read," said LJ's reviewer, who further asserted that the Pulitzer Prize-winning author posed more questions than he answered (LJ 2/15/69). Nonetheless, this provides a solid history into one of the darkest chapters of World War II. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.Book Details
