From September 8, 1941, until January-February, 1942, Leningrad was blockaded; supplies of food, fuel, and ammunition were cut off. Evacuation ceased. Of the million Leningraders who perished before the siege ended, 250,000 died of cold and starvation during the crisis period of the blockade. -- From the book jacket.
