The 900 Days: The Siege of Leningrad by Harrison E. Salisbury is a nonfiction masterpiece first published in 1969 that delivers a definitive, heartbreaking account of the Nazi blockade of Russia's cultural capital during World War II. Drawing on his 25 years of research, personal experience as a Moscow correspondent, and interviews with survivors, Salisbury chronicles how nearly three million people were trapped in a city where almost half of the population perished from extreme cold, disease, and starvation.
