The story of the 'Winter War' between Finland and Soviet Russia is
a dramatic David versus Goliath encounter. When close to half a
million Soviet troops poured into Finland in 1939 it was expected
that Finnish defences 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 characterised
Finland's fight for survival on the hellish Eastern Front. Now
publishing in paperback for the first time, Finland at War: the
Winter War 1939-40 is the premiere English-language history of the
fighting performance of the Finns, drawing on first-hand accounts
and previously unpublished photographs to explain just how they
were able to perform military feats that nearly defy belief.
