“This book consists of an account of a visit to Leningrad shortly after the blockade had been lifted. Its author stayed for part of the time with Nikolai Tikhonov, the poet, who had remained in Leningrad throughout the siege. He interviewed people of all kinds of occupations from school teachers to metal workers, from artists and musicians to the men who drove the trucks along the ice road over Lake Ladoga. He was taken to the front where he spent several days with the Red Army units defending the city. He went over battle cruisers and submarines of the Baltic Fleet. The result is a vivid and moving record of ‘Leningrad during the Blockade’ and of the magnificent courage and staunchness of the civilian population.” – from the dust jacket.
