In the bitter winter of 1939, the Red Army rolled into Finland expecting a swift victory. Instead, they met a nation that turned snow and forest into a killing ground, shattering Soviet divisions and humiliating Stalin's war machine in a campaign that rewrote the rules of winter warfare.

This edition is built for readers who want to understand how the Finns actually did it. Original tactical diagrams and maps track the fighting phase by phase, from the Mannerheim Line to the frozen hell of Suomussalmi. Order-of-battle tables lay out the opposing forces, while firsthand accounts from Finnish and Soviet veterans-named and sourced-bring the chaos of ski-borne ambushes and night attacks to life.
