Book Reviews of The 900 Days: The Siege Of Leningrad
Book Review: the definitive work on the siege of leningrad
Summary: 5 Stars
i've read a few works on the Leningrad siege but this one has been the best so far. i gnerally read professional works of history by historians which is what this book definately is. at the same time it reads almost like a novel in terms of development of characters, from stalin to the every day citizens trying to survive under unimaginable conditions. i would definately recommend this book for those wishing to learn about one of the most horrific episides of WWII
Summary of The 900 Days: The Siege Of Leningrad
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.
