This book is so shocking. The descriptions are quite intense. The citizens of Leningrad had to live in a hellish world. The book tells the story of how the citizens were starving and dying in droves. What were people doing to survive? What was happening there? One can only shudder at the horror of the situation, with over 800,000 people starving to death....

The Siege of Leningrad is a must-read to learn about the horrors of the war between Germany and the Soviet Union. Bullet-riddled battlefields are not the only kind of warfare. Strategic sieges in which civilians are starved to death are another major form of warfare.

This book is one of the best books to learn about such things. It is a book that requires a lot of preparation to read, but I highly recommend it.

The book "The Battle of Germany and the Soviet Union: Disasters of an Extinct War" by Takeshi Ohki, which was introduced in the previous article, gave a complete picture of the German-Soviet war in World War II. This book, "The Battle of Moscow: The Greatest Battle of the 20th Century," is also introduced in the bibliography at the end of the book, and is highly recommended for those who want to know more about the German-Soviet War.

The abundance of photographs and diagrams makes it easy to visualize what it was like in those days.

Above all, it is a very interesting read. The author's narrative is excellent and draws you into the difficult subject of the war. Why was the Battle of Moscow the largest battle in the world? Why did the soldiers have to die in vain? Why were the Germans, who were thought to be invincible, defeated?

Why did Germany, which was supposed to be a democracy, move toward totalitarianism?

This is also true in Japan.

Learning about the Nazis is also learning about our history.

As usual in this book, Jono's exquisite commentary keeps things moving along. It is just interesting and easy to read. This book is highly recommended for those who want to know about the German process first.

What kind of war was World War II really? How did the Nazis operate? How did the Soviet Union led by Stalin oppose it? What about Britain, France, and the United States?

In this book, you will learn about the complex and bizarre international situation. Mr. Jinno emphasizes the "why" of why history has moved in the way it has, rather than simply listing events. I think this is the wonderful thing about the "World History Theater" series. I believe that this book is unique in that it is not mere memorization, but rather it develops the ability to think about "why". I highly recommend this book.

The book is selling very well right now and won first place in the 2020 New Book Awards.

This book provides a clear explanation of why the war between Germany and the Soviet Union began and how it progressed.

We will also discuss the huge battles in this war: the Siege of Moscow, the Siege of Leningrad, and the Siege of Stalingrad. What were these gigantic battles that determined the outcome of the war between Germany and the Soviet Union? We will get to know the overwhelming battles that resulted in incredible casualties.

Easy to understand and read! And I appreciate the compactness of the huge German-Soviet war in a new book-sized book.

How war destroys humanity.

How does a person turn into a perpetrator?

The fear that once people are embedded in the system that drives them to war, they can no longer resist. The extreme conditions in which peacetime ethics completely collapse.

The horrific ravages of the war between Germany and the Soviet Union show us these things clearly.

Of course, we do not mean to downplay the suffering of the people in the Pacific War. However, by daring to study the German-Soviet War, which was far away from Japan, we can learn the question of what war is more objectively. That is why I felt the importance of daring to learn about the war between Germany and the Soviet Union.
