The Siege of Leningrad is one of the most dramatic and tragic episodes of World War II. Despite a lack of manpower and resources, problems on other fronts, and adverse weather conditions, the Red Army persisted in its attempts to push the Germans back from the "cradle of the revolution" for two and a half years. Drawing on numerous Russian and German documents, the memoirs of those involved, and other sources, this book provides a detailed account of all the air operations and skirmishes that took place over several years in the northern theater of war. This book explores not only the Luftwaffe's raids on Leningrad and Kronstadt, and the Germans' attempts to cut off communications across Lake Ladoga (the "Road of Life"), but also the battles for Sinyavino, Lyuban, Demyansk, Staraya Russa, Kholm, Velikiye Luki, and elsewhere. The author's unique facts and details, collected and systematized, offer a fresh perspective on the course of both well-known and lesser-known battles of the Great Patriotic War, and a deeper understanding of the Red Army's successes and failures.
