A Frozen Hell

The Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-1940

De: William R. Trotter

Narrado por: Matthew Lloyd Davies

In 1939, tiny Finland waged war - the kind of war that spawns legends - against the mighty Soviet Union, and yet, their epic struggle has been largely ignored. Guerrillas on skis, heroic single-handed attacks on tanks, unfathomable endurance, and the charismatic leadership of one of this century's true military geniuses - these are the elements of both the Finnish victory and a gripping tale of war.

Very entertaining and informative.

Good history book. Very entertaining and informative highly recommended. I hope Audible get more Titles on this subject.

Exceptional Detailed History

Loved it! What an epic! Those poor Soviets. Those Daring Finns! Would have liked to learn more about the sniper tactics employed but the mottis and ski info was amazing to hear about. might have to give this one a second listen.

An amazing history!

So much more than I had ever learned. should be required reading in high school.

incredible story.

you get every detail of the war and it is truely inspirational. Finland has more balls than most countries.

Slightly superfluous, yet coherent account of the war.

A little too emotional for my taste, the book accurately covers the war as well as all its context. Even though Trotter states at the end that the Finns were the only Baltic nation that kept independence after wwii due to fighting, his attitude towards going into war with Russians and towards Stalin is sometimes strangely ambiguous.
