Reviews

"The authors strive to strip away the long-standing and largely politically- and ideologically-motivated misconceptions and myths which have clouded non-military aspects and circumstances of the siege. They stress, in particular, the actions and mistakes of Soviet political authorities and the human condition and attitudes of the many peoples who endured the siege."--David M. Glantz, Editor of the Journal of Slavic Military Studies.--David Glantz (03/27/2012)
