"One of the first major Soviet cities threatened by the German blitzkrieg, Leningrad was as much a symbolic target as it was a strategic one for Adolf Hitler, who fully expected the birthplace of the Russian Revolution to be reduced to rubble quickly and with ease. The Red Army's ferocious defense of the city, however, made that impossible." "Glantz digs deep to recount the full story of how these two military giants bludgeoned each other for nearly three years with a relentless barrage of offensives and counteroffensives designed to crush one another, in horrendous weather and a harsh terrain and with staggering loss of life on both sides. His richly detailed history shows how battles and campaigns were conceived, engaged, and resolved - including a half dozen or more "forgotten battles" that took place during the blockade." "Glantz also provides insights into conditions within the city, adding new details to the horrors of the siege; sheds new light on partisan warfare in the countryside surrounding Leningrad; and corrects errors found in earlier works, revealing among other things the fate of those Soviet commanders who were purged or repressed because of their poor performance in battle."--Jacket.… (meer)

Oof, this is a beast. A thick, dense, impenetrable beast. Almost impossible to read if you're trying to go at it casually - but it is invaluable if you know what you're doing. This book emphasizes a lot on the Soviet side, and you'll get a lot of information here than nobody else even considers.

1) The desperate suicidal attacks in 1941 were able to prevent the Germans from taking the city by winter. Supplies over Lake Ladoga and beneficial terrain helped further advances.

2) The siege conditions from 1941-44 basically tied down all of German Army Group North and prevented these troops from assisting with the capture of Moscow or Stalingrad.

3) By 1944, the Soviets had improved their tactics, including the use of strategic deception, or masirovka, to drive back the Germans and destroy the majority of their armies by June of that year.

Impressive discussion of tactical and strategic history. If you can pick out information from the sea of unit names(The 237th, 259th and 301st Rifle divisions attacked at Zherlosiugorsk from 21st September at 0300 hours using KV-1 tanks until...), you'll find a lively analysis.

Recommended For Specialists Only. Not your typical Enemy at the Gates fare. ( )

This is really military history for the staff officer or scholar and if you want to read the latest, best, analysis of the battle this is the book for you. If you're a more general reader you will bounce off this work like a 37mm round off a T-34 medium tank. ( )
