New Leningrad Book:The Siege of Leningrad,900 Days of Terror

That's not exactly a 'new' book, if you're new to the topic it is a nice introduction with a lot of pictures. If you're familiar with the topic, then get Glantz's other book on Leningrad, much more detailed.

It is a summary/simplified version of 'The Battle of Leningrad 1941-1944'.

I read this book. It's an odd book: It is indeed more simple than the Tome, but it is still not that 'simple'. It is still densely written but without the details of the Tome it can get confusing. The book has few maps, so following the action requires outside sources. Indeed, Glantz could have dumbed down this book without losing any informational value.
So it straddles the line of being a detailed operational history covering both sides or a general overview without being either.
