David M. Glantz's The Siege of Leningrad, 1941–1944: 900 Days of Terror recounts one of World War II's most harrowing chapters: the nearly three‑year German blockade of the Soviet industrial port and its people's stubborn resistance. Combining operational-level military narrative with vivid civilian testimony, the book traces Wehrmacht efforts to starve and shell Leningrad into submission, the Red Army's desperate counteroffensives, and the city's political and symbolic importance to both Hitler and Stalin—illustrated by stark details such as the roughly 4,000 civilians who died of starvation on Christmas Day 1941—and argues that Leningrad's endurance helped blunt Nazi ambitions in Europe.
An illustrated campaign history, this 2001 MBI edition (ISBN 0760309418) pairs operational analysis with rich visual and reference material: extensive and detailed battle maps, campaign maps showing German advances and Soviet relief operations, archival and previously unpublished photographs, orders of battle, tabular data, and firsthand accounts. The work emphasizes both strategic planning and human experience, offering scholars and general readers a well-documented, map‑rich treatment of siege, blockade logistics, urban warfare, and the leadership decisions that shaped the Leningrad front.

New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
