Description

In terms of human trauma, it comes second only to Stalingrad, comparisons to which were even being made by soldiers, both German and Soviet, fighting at the time. This definitive history covers their experiences, and those of the 800,000 non-combatants around whom the battle raged. 'Ungváry's account of the 100-day siege of Budapest is a gripping story of horror and courage.
