Books
On the 30th of November 1939, Stalin's Red Army attacked Finland, expecting to crush the outnumbered, ill-equipped Finns in a matter of days. But, in one of the most astonishing upsets in modern military history, the Finnish defenders broke the Red Army advance, inflicting devastating casualties. However, in March 1940, the Red Army prevailed through the deployment of massive force. For this highly illustrated and original portrayal of this famously unequal struggle, Bair Irincheev has brought together a selection of eyewitness accounts, war diaries, battle reports and other records to reconstruct the frontline fighting.
