The Siege of Leningrad is the most powerful testimony to the immeasurable cruelty and horror of World War II. From 1941-1945, the Eastern Front was the site of some of the bloodiest atrocities of the war and the city of Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, proved to be a decisive point in the conflict. German policy was resolutely determined to redraw the map of Europe, annihilate the Soviet Union and give large areas of territory to Finland. Through Hitler's ambition to completely eradicate the city and its entire population, it was decided that the most efficient method of invasion was to encircle and bombard the city into submission. After 872 days of aggression, one and a half million people lost their lives, mostly from starvation. As the sole British correspondent to have been in Leningrad during the blockade, Alexander Werth's eyewitness account presents a harrowing perspective on the savagery and destruction wrought by the Nazis against the civilian population of the city. His writing evokes compelling images of terror - the oil bombing of children's hospitals, mass starvation and cannibalism - with rich and sophisticated commentary on the internal politics of Soviet party chiefs, soldiers and civilian resistance fighters. Both an authoritative historical document and a journalistic re-telling of the overwhelming sadness, grief and futility of 20th century warfare, this is an invaluable look at one of the greatest losses of human life in recorded history.

Le 10 août 1941, les armées allemandes lancent l’offensive finale sur Leningrad. Moins d’un mois plus tard, la ville est encerclée. Pendant 872 jours – le siège le plus long de l’histoire moderne –, seule la « route de la vie », passant par le lac Ladoga gelé, permet l’approvisionnement, du reste très insuffisant, des Léningradois, qui souffrent de la faim et du froid. Alexander Werth, correspondant de guerre britannique, offre de cette tragédie un témoignage exceptionnel qui retrace la défense de la ville par ses habitants et raconte les stratégies de survie quotidiennes cachées derrière les mots « héroïsme » et « patriotisme ». Alexander Werth (1901-1969), journaliste et historien britannique d’origine russe, est l’auteur d’une quinzaine d’ouvrages remarqués sur la Russie soviétique et sur la France de l’entre-deux-guerres, en particulier, La Russie en guerre (« Texto », 2011) et Moscou, 1941 (Tallandier, 2012). Traduit de l’anglais par Evelyne et Nicolas Werth. Présenté par Nicolas Werth.

One of the greatest ever sieges is masterfully brought to life by a leading expert on the Eastern Front. At the height of World War II the people of Leningrad endured a bitter 900-day siege, struggling against bombing, shelling, and starvation. Prit Buttar tells the story of how the siege was finally broken. The Red Army had suffered multiple setbacks in the preceding two years but achieved a partial success by breaking the blockage in early 1943. However, this was followed by further failed attempts to lift the siege completely. But by simply enduring the siege in the face of impossible odds, Russian soldiers and civilians beat the Germans. By the end of 1943 the German forces, themselves broken by deprivations and extreme weather, began to pull back. Here was the opportunity the Soviet forces had been waiting for. The Red Army launched a decisive attack that broke through and ended the siege. Their determination to hold out has become a hugely significant part of Russian history, the echoes of the battle helping to define both a country and its politics. This compelling history uses original Russian source material to vividly describe the deprivations visited upon those trapped. But it also details the tactical successes and strategic failures of both sides as well as the appalling war crimes that have forever stained the ground in and around this historic city.
