Summary: This is a fascinating account of the brutal siege of St Petersberg by the Germans in WWII. Since the fall of the Soviet Union more information about the siege has become available. In accordance with Hitler's directive, the German army did not attempt to take Leninggrad but surrounded it with the deliberate intention of starving 2 1/2 million people to death. The seige lasted almost 900 days and at least one million people died from cold and hunger. With interviews and extracts from journals and diaries, Michael Jones recounts this heartbreaking story.
