The War Within: Diaries from the Siege of Leningrad

Alexis Peri, 2020

Overview

This work chronicles the harrowing 872-day Siege of Leningrad, one of the longest and deadliest in modern history. Drawing on previously unpublished diaries, it offers a profound look at the internal struggles of individuals caught in a collapsing world. The book contrasts the official Soviet narrative of steadfast resistance with the deeply personal accounts of survival and the search for meaning amidst immense suffering. It reveals how ordinary citizens, young and old, grappled with their fate when cut off from the rest of Russia by the German Wehrmacht in September 1941.
