Famous Sieges : Siege of Leningrad

The Siege of Leningrad was a prolonged military blockade undertaken from the south by the Army Group North of Nazi Germany and the Finnish Army in the north, against Leningrad, historically and currently known as Saint Petersburg, in the Eastern Front theatre of World War II. It was one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history, and possibly the costliest in casualties suffered. This book gives a brief account of one of the most bloodiest sieges in the history of mankind.
