In this struggle for survival, we have no interest in keeping even a proportion of the city's population alive. During the famed 900-day siege of Leningrad, the German High Command deliberately planned to eradicate the city's population through starvation. Viewing the Slavs as sub-human, Hitler embarked on a vicious program of ethnic cleansing. By the time the siege ended in January 1944, almost a million people had died. Those who survived would be marked permanently by what they endured as the city descended into chaos. In Leningrad, military historian Michael Jones chronicles the human story of this epic siege. Drawing on newly available eyewitness accounts and diaries, he reveals the true horrors of the ordeal including stories long-suppressed by the Soviets of looting, criminal gangs, and cannibalism. From a Book Review: More than a million people starved in Leningrad. More people starved in Leningrad than soldiers of the United States and the United Kingdom, combined, died in battle from 1940 to 1945. For 872 days the Germans surrounded and bombarded the city. Michael Jones writes a clear, well documented, account of the siege, He tells of courage, cowardice, ineptitude, compassion and selfishness brought on by hunger The book has illustrations, maps, an excellent time line, notes and a bibliography. Highly recommended for any one who wants to understand what happened on the Eastern Front during the Great Patriotic War.
