Description:In Siege: A Novel of the Eastern Front, 1942, author Russ ì
Schneider takes us to the immediate scene of two Russian towns, ì
Cholm and Velikiye Luki, the last holdouts for a small garrison ì
of Germans surrounded by the vast Red Army during World War II. ì
In Cholm, under the command of General Scherer, the garrison ì
lasted 105 days against a besieging Russian force that ì
outnumbered it ten to one. The Russians had tanks and artillery, ì
while the Germans had neither, and most of the battle was fought ì
in Arctic conditions in the winter of 1941-42. Unprepared for the ì
savage climate, the German army at Cholm and elsewhere was nearly ì
destroyed. The struggle for this obscure town was an epic story ì
ranking with any of history's more well-known accounts of ì
desperate military stands. Condition Information
This is a used book in Very good condition.
