Description
In Leningrad: Siege and Symphony, Brian Moynahan sets the composition of Russian composer Shostakovich's most famous work against the tragic history of the city that inspired it. He vividly tells the story of the cruelties heaped by the twin monsters of the 20th century, Stalin and Hitler, on a city of exquisite beauty, and of its no less remarkable survival.
