If you want to discover the captivating history of the Winter War, then pay attention....

In December 1940, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill made a speech about a conflict that had some leading figures in Britain and France, including Churchill himself, briefly discussing the idea of going to war with the Soviet Union, even though they were already fighting Adolf Hitler.

Of course, war makes strange bedfellows, and one year later, Churchill would find himself allied with the Soviet Union against Germany and Finland. It’s an interesting saga, one with roots in imperial Russian history and the desire of the Finns to be free in their northern forests.

In The Winter War: A Captivating Guide to the Russo-Finnish War between Finland and the Soviet Union, you will discover topics such as

• The Grand Duchy of Finland
• The Finnish Civil War
• Between a rock and a hard place

Hot War ...

I found the audible to be an easy, engaging listen, which is a relative rarity for a serious military history audible. There are other fine works out there on the Russo-Finnish Winter War, but if you can have only one, buy this audible. Highly recommended.

Great!

A heavy narrative look at the Russo Finnish war of 1939.How the Fins accidentally got involved while trying to be Neutral and how and why the Russians felt they needed to Invade this small nation

Fresh Light on Finland's Heroic Stand

This was a very well written scholarly audible. It wasn't dry as some history audibles are but it is very detailed and you have to follow along if you want to get a grasp on this short but very active war within the greater World War 2 era.

detailed

The Author's audible provides a detailed and engaging account of the Winter War. It is well written and structured, providing good contextualization as to the path to war, the roles of key actors and events, detailed accounts of the various battles.

great writing

Sometimes I find it a bit hit and miss buying a history audible. I wanted to listen about Finns during ww2 and chose this audible, and I am very glad that I did.

Easy listen

The author provides a gripping and fast-paced recount of the Winter War and touches on the Continuation War. He presents a very balanced (perhaps a bit too kind to the Soviet's perspective) and an in-depth history of one of the most amazing military feats in history!

Should Have Many More Reviews

The audible keeps your interest by rapidly switching between different topics and battlefronts. This is accomplished by the effective use of star-fleurons to present information in manageable bites.

Outstanding effort!

This audible has been much better than I expected as far as detailing the Winter War. I have listened to other audibles that were far less detailed and far more difficult to understand.

A truly great addition

Of the thousands (literally!!) of "War Audibles," I have listened in my 65 years this work would be in the top 5. this author's research, analysis, and use of sources are superb. That basis is further enhanced by a writing style that conveys the flow of events as well as the complex and sometimes bizarre personalities involved in this war which never should have happened.

Listen it!

This is a great little audible which is very well written and presented. It wants for very little and gives the listener all the information they need to form an effective, factual, picture of what the winter war was actually like.
