Frozen Hell: The Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-1940, by William Trotter. It’s all too easy to think that war is so rare that it will never happen. When war does happen, then, countries can be blindsided by their own naivete. Such was the case with the brutal, hellish Winter War between the Soviets and the Finns in 1939-40 as Stalin sought to make an “easy” expansion of the Soviet Union to prepare for the coming conflageration with the Nazis. Much as with Ukraine today, the Russians were surprised and lost tens of thousands of men due to poor leadership. Frozen Hell gets right into the nitty-gritty of what happened. A quick read and a good reminder of the dangers of lack of preparedness—and the value of Finnish grit.
