Preface by Alexander Mercouris
The Siege of Sevastopol during the Second World War is almost unknown in the West. If most educated Westerners have some knowledge of the battles of Moscow and Stalingrad and of the siege of Leningrad, scarcely any know of the passionate eight month defence of Sevastopol against overwhelming odds in what was for the Russians the darkest period of the war.
There are times when this ignorance appears to be the product less of indifference and more of deliberate historical suppression.
