When close to half a million Soviet troops poured into Finland in 1939 it was expected that Finnish defenses would collapse in a matter of weeks. But they held firm. The Finns not only survived the initial attacks but succeeded in inflicting devastating casualties before superior Russian numbers eventually forced a peace settlement. This is a rigorously detailed and utterly compelling guide to Finland's vital, but almost forgotten role in the cataclysmic World War II. It reveals the untold story of iron determination, unparalleled skill and utter mastery of winter warfare that characterized Finland's fight for survival on the hellish Eastern Front. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow publishing in paperback, \u003ci\u003eFinland at War: the Winter War 1939-40\u003c\/i\u003e is the premiere English-language history of the fighting performance of the Finns, drawing on first-hand accounts and rare photographs to explain just how they were able to perform military feats that nearly defy belief.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vesa Nenye, Peter Munter, Toni Wirtanen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147282718X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472827180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 7.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Vesa Nenye","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044581601535,"sku":"9781472827180","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f51a30cc-3f82-4627-96a4-820260247889.jpg?v=1684973674","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/finland-at-war-vesa-nenye-9781472827180","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
