👀 FAB REVIEW!

'In the winter of 1939, Finland withstood the might of Soviet Russia in a conflict that became known as the Winter War … Olivier Norek's engaging book makes the ideal vehicle to shine a light on what happened and why'

#TheWinterWarriors by Olivier Norek, t N Caistor

#historical

'The meat of the story lies in the Finnish people this book is about - the brave and determined citizens of a newly independent country. Through the eyes of the small group of childhood friends … the history really comes alive'

#TheWinterWarriors by Olivier Norek t N Caistor

#Finland #WW2

THIS!

'There is no way to do this story justice in a short review. Norek has clearly researched his subject well. The way he effortlessly pulls you into this incredible story, and the ease with which he stirs your emotions with his words are impressive'

#TheWinterWarriors

'I had no idea how significant this conflict was in terms of death toll, legacy, and how it came to shape Finland as a nation, and I was deeply moved by what is, in essence, a tribute to the men and women who lived and died in defence of their sovereignty'

#TheWinterWarriors

EXCELLENT REVIEW!

'Ambitious in scale and full of insight, this book pulls no punches when it comes to the human cost of war, but it also celebrates the strength of the human spirit. Nick Caistor's translation is excellent too'
