It lasted for nearly 900 days, from late August 1941 to late January 1944, bringing unparalleled hardship to the population. Out of over three million persons in the city more than one million lost their lives through cold, disease and starvation, bombs and artillery fire. The severe winter of 1941-42 was by far the worst period of the siege, when food reserves ran out, rations dropped to a little over three ounces of bread per person per day and regular supplies of water, fuel, and electricity stopped. Its epic suffering and endurance earned Leningrad the title of 'Hero City of the Soviet Union'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is from an article in issue 123 of After the Battle magazine, the joint authors were Karel Margry and Ron Hogg.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399031163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399031165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e After the Battle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Daniel Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46334396629247,"sku":"9781399031165","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5879c59-d66f-4316-b230-42ae5080ca60.jpg?v=1731466729","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-siege-of-leningrad-daniel-taylor-9781399031165","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
