520    "The story of the 'Winter War' between Finland and Soviet 
       Russia is a dramatic David versus Goliath encounter. When 
       close to half a million Soviet troops poured into Finland 
       in 1939 it was expected that Finnish defences would 
       collapse in a matter of weeks. But they held firm. The 
       Finns not only survived the initial attacks but succeeded 
       in inflicting devastating casualties before superior 
       Russian numbers eventually forced a peace settlement. This
       a rigorously detailed and utterly compelling guide to 
       Finland's vital, but almost forgotten role in the 
       cataclysmic World War II. It reveals the untold story of 
       iron determination, unparalleled skill and utter mastery 
       of winter warfare that characterized Finland's fight for 
       survival on the hellish Eastern Front. Finland at War: the
       Winter War 1939-40 is the premiere English-language 
       history of the fighting performance of the Finns, drawing 
       on first-hand accounts and previously unpublished 
       photographs to explain just how they were able to perform 
       military feats that nearly defy belief."--|cPublisher
