Summary: The World War II siege of Leningrad by the Nazi armies was one of the most destructive of the war, killing up to 1.5 million people. Journalist Salisbury constructed his narrative of the siege by using documentary, archival evidence and interviews with survivors. His work, describing both military and civilian experiences, reflects as badly on Stalin and the Communist Party as it does on the besiegers. This is a paperbound reprint of the 1985 edition.
