The Battle of Leningrad: Facts and Myths with Documents and Photographs
39.99 €
What is the Battle of Leningrad? Why is it considered the bloodiest and longest in the history of the Great Patriotic War, yet little is said about it and its heroes? The Battles of Moscow, Stalingrad, and Kursk are widely known, yet the Battle of Leningrad is mentioned in passing, focusing only on the Siege—a tragic and difficult chapter of the battle. Renowned Russian historian Alexander Myasnikov sets out to unravel this mystery.

For the first time, a single book tells the complete story of the struggle for the legendary city—the battles on the outskirts of Leningrad, the everyday life of the Siege, the clashes between intelligence services, the breaking of the Siege, the complete liberation of the city and region, and the forcing of peace in Finland. The Battle of Leningrad saw Stalin's first strike, the first Soviet soldier's assault on an enemy embrasure, and the unprecedented 900 days of the Siege. Read about these and other little-known facts about the Leningrad epic within the book. The text is supplemented with important quotes from documents and photographs, many of which are published for the first time.
