The Siege Of Leningrad

The Siege of Leningrad (1968) by Alan Wykes – MacDonald
Offered by Crappy Old Books – history with a hint of foxing.

Alan Wykes’ The Siege of Leningrad is a chilling, no-frills account of one of the most harrowing episodes of World War II. Published in 1968, this book pulls no punches as it documents the 872-day Nazi blockade that starved, shattered, and ultimately steeled the Soviet city. Wykes blends military detail with human tragedy, bringing the frozen hell of wartime Leningrad vividly to life—without ever romanticising the suffering.

Our copy? Slightly warped from some unknown past indignity, with that glorious 1960s pulp-paper scent and a cover that looks like it’s survived a siege of its own.
