520    The 900-day siege of the Soviet city of Leningrad by the 
       combined forces of the Germans and the Finns is one of the
       most remarkable, and terrible, events of the Second World 
       War, yet until recently it has not received the attention 
       it deserves – it has been overshadowed by other 
       massive confrontations on the Eastern Front, at Stalingrad
       and Kursk. And rarely has the compelling story of the 
       siege been told through graphic wartime photographs like 
       those that author Nik Cornish has collected for this book.
       Many of these images have not been published before, and 
       they give an unflinching insight into the reality of the 
       conditions of the siege as it was experienced by the 
       soldiers on each side and by the civilians trapped in the 
       city who were threatened by starvation, disease, shelling 
       and assault. The entire course of the siege is covered, 
       from the encirclement of September 1941, through the 
       successive attempts by the Wehrmacht to break in and the 
       dogged, sometimes desperate defense put up by the Red Army,
       to the withdrawal of the Germans and the lifting of the 
       siege in January 1944. Nik Cornish’s portrait of the
       ruthless struggle of Hitler’s armies to capture the 
       second city of the Soviet Union and the determination and 
       suffering of the defenders will be fascinating reading for
       everyone who is interested in the war on the Eastern 
       Front. [Elib]
