Having just been to St. Petersburg, I was interested in what the citizens of this great and beautiful city endured during WWII. This book was a very nice way to get a true idea of the horrible hardships endured by these people, two million of whom died. The story is all right, but the history is amazing. What a people! If you like a painless way to gather some facts, this is it. There is a good bibliography at the end.
