Story Locale: World War II, Eastern Front, Russia Based on true historic events, Siege is set in two Russian towns, Cholm and Velikiye Luki, the last holdouts for a small garrison of German soldiers surrounded by the vast Red Army. The novel centers on a group of ordinary enlisted men caught up in these events, with all the confusion, horror and exhaustion they experienced going from one hopeless situation to another. The Russo-German war has long had a peculiar fascination for students of military and world history. With his expert knowledge of the war on the Eastern Front, Russ Schneider conveys as very few other writers can the scale of combat that had no precedent in savagery and cruelty in this compelling and riviting story.
