Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wartime Suffering and Survival explores how average people survive in the face of incredible odds. Using diaries, recollections, police records, interviews, and state documents from the Blockade of Leningrad in World War II, he shows how average Leningraders coped with the nightmares of war, starvation, and extreme uncertainty. Hass not only shares Leningraders' stories to uncover a little-told side of Russian/Soviet history, but also to reveal the humancondition--who we really are when our backs are against the wall.
