Synopsis
Michael Jones tells the human story of Leningrad. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and diaries, he shows Leningrad in its every dimension including taboos, long-suppressed by the Soviets, such as looting, criminal gangs and cannibalism, but also the triumph of human spirit as people inspired, comforted and helped each other.

Review
'Detailed account of the 872-day siege of the Soviet Union's iconic city' * Morning Star * 'Jones's book is set apart from other histories by his careful and judicious use of witness accounts' * Sunday Business Post * 'Where the book stands out is in the portrait of ordinary life in extraordinary circumstances... Fluently written... the uniquely terrible experience of suffering, especially of 1941-2, is effectively described' * BBC History * 'A tribute to the resilience of the human spirit' * Herald *
