Leningrad by Michael Jones

Leningrad by Michael Jones

In 1941 Hitler's armies blocked the last roads leading into Leningrad. What followed was one of the most horrific sieges in history.

'Jones's book is set apart from other histories by his careful and judicious use of witness accounts' * Sunday Business Post *

Praise for Michael Jones' Stalingrad:

'A milestone in the treatment of the battle.. highly effective and utterly captivating. Previous accounts have been unable to fully convey the desperate ferocity of the battle. Now we see it in all its horror - and better understand the courage of Stalingrad's defenders. This is the finest history of its type published to date'

* David Glantz *
'Detailed account of the 872-day siege of the Soviet Union's iconic city' * Morning Star *
