The Battle of Leningrad was the longest land military campaign of World War II. It lasted a full four years - from July 1941 to July 1944.
During the 872 days of the siege of Leningrad, the inhabitants of the city and the soldiers who defended it went through an incredibly difficult ordeal: bombings, artillery shelling, fires, hunger, cold, thirst and the constant fear of death. Leningrad was a front in which there was no rear, a city that was doomed to a slow and painful death, but survived because it was defended by iron men. The incredible story of the defense of Leningrad during the war rattled around the world. Now that the archives have been opened and historians have had the opportunity to work with previously classified documents, the greatness of the feat of Leningraders shone in all its glory. The book is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the final lifting of the siege of Leningrad.
