The Winter War: Russia Against Finland (The Pan/Ballantine Illustrated History of World War II series)

158pp, copiously illustrated in black and white.  Illustrated stiff card covers.  12mo.  Covers are shelf worn, perhaps a tad faded and gently rubbed on extreme edges.   Internally neat, clean and tight. In December 1939, as the Axis and Allied powers confronted each other on the Western Front, events in northern Europe provided an unexpected diversion from the main theatre of war.  For 105 days, the world watched as Finland, a nation of some three million people, waged war against the Soviet Union's 108 millions.
