A Frozen Hell: The Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-1940

Guerrillas on skis, heroic single-handed attacks on tanks, unfathomable endurance, and the charismatic leadership of one of this century's true military geniusesamp;mdash;these are the elements of both the Finnish victory and a gripping tale of war.
