Description: In Siege: A Novel of the Eastern Front, 1942, author Russ ì Schneider takes us to the immediate scene of two Russian towns, ì Cholm and Velikiye Luki, the last holdouts for a small garrison ì of Germans surrounded by the vast Red Army during World War II. ì In Cholm, under the command of General Scherer, the garrison ì lasted 105 days against a besieging Russian force that ì outnumbered it ten to one. The Russians had tanks and artillery, ì while the Germans had neither, and most of the battle was fought ì in Arctic conditions in the winter of 1941-42. Unprepared for the ì savage climate, the German army at Cholm and elsewhere was nearly ì destroyed. The struggle for this obscure town was an epic story ì ranking with any of history's more well-known accounts of ì desperate military stands.
