Reviews
Like other books in the Casemate Illustrated series, this is an excellent resource for creating toy soldier dioramas, wargaming and modelling., "A part of the simply outstanding Casemate Illustrated series, "The Winter War 1939-40" is an invaluable and highly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, and academic library 20th Century European Military History collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists.", ...an excellent pocket history of this horrific, albeit brief conflict, with dozens of rarely- or never-before-seen pictures documenting the men and equipment of both sides., Jowett has amassed an impressive amount of detail, yet the writing never bogs down. He leads the reader through this war with precision and employs images to great effect. The Winter War provides not only good, solid history, but serves as an example for how photographs and text can work together to make a difficult subject easier to follow, making history into a compelling story., Modelers may find this an excellent resource for detailing and inspiration for models and dioramas...A useful gallery of photos present plenty of detail, and color artwork captures what the cameras did not capture.

Synopsis
When the Soviet Union invaded Finland in late 1939, what transpired was a true "David and Goliath" conflict. The Soviets deployed a massive army with 500,000 troops and several thousand tanks supported by a large air force. But, to the world's surprise, the Finnish Army, made up of mostly poorly equipped reservists, together with the small Finnish Air Force, managed to resist the Russian onslaught for over two months, inflicting serious losses on the enemy. Fighting in temperatures as low as -43° F, the Finns' determined resistance won them international respect and admiration. Although hostilities finally ended in a peace treaty that saw Finland cede nine percent of its territory, Soviet losses had been heavy, and Finland retained its sovereignty. This fully illustrated book covers the forces involved and all stages of the Winter War., "Jowett has amassed an impressive amount of detail, yet the writing never bogs down. He leads the reader through this war with precision and employs images to great effect." -- New York Journal of Books When the Soviet Union invaded Finland in late 1939, what transpired was a true "David and Goliath" conflict. When Finland refused a number of Soviet demands, including the ceding of substantial border territories ostensibly to enable the Soviets to protect Leningrad, the Soviets responded by launching an invasion. The invasion involved a large Soviet army, with several thousand tanks, and a large air force.But to the world's surprise the Finnish Army--many of them reservists without proper uniforms and limited ammunition--and Air Force battled overwhelming odds, and managed to resist Russian attacks for over two months, inflicting serious losses. Geography played its part as much of the Finnish-Soviet border was impassable, meaning that Soviet numerical superiority was of less import. Operating in the winter, with temperatures ranging as low as -43F, the Finns' determined resistance won them international reputation. Although hostilities finally ended in a peace treaty that saw Finland cede 9% of its territory, Soviet losses had been heavy, and Finland retained its sovereignty.This fully illustrated text will cover the forces involved and all stages of the Winter War.
