The siege was the longest a great city has undergone since Biblical times. It was endured by more than three million people, of whom just under one-half died . . . most of them in six months - from late October, 1941, through mid-April, 1042 - when the temperature went from 20 to 30 degrees below zero, and there was no heat, no light, no transport, no food or water; the front was still active, bombs and shells rained down, and the cannibals - some say -became kings. For twenty-five years Harrison Salisbury has been assembling the material out of which he forged this epic story" [from the dust jacket].
