£9.99Notes From the Blockade
The 900-day siege of Leningrad was one of the turning points of the Second World War. It slowed down the German advance into Russia and became a national symbol of survival and resistance. Some 750,000 civilians died of cold and hunger. Lydia Ginzburg, a respected literary scholar, survived. Using her own diary records, along with conversations and impressions collected over the years, she distilled the collective experience of life under siege into this moving account.

Putin’s wars
£10.99Putin’s wars
A new history of how Putin and his conflicts have inexorably reshaped Russia, including his devastating invasion of Ukraine. ‘Putin’s Wars’ is a timely overview of the conflicts in which Russia has been involved since Vladimir Putin became prime minister and then president of Russia, from the First Chechen War to the two military incursions into Georgia, the annexation of Crimea and the eventual invasion of Ukraine itself. But it also looks more broadly at Putin’s recreation of Russian military power and its expansion to include a range of new capabilities, from mercenaries to operatives in a relentless information war against Western powers. This is an engrossing strategic overview of a rejuvenated Russian military and the successes and failures on the battlefield.
