In September 1941, Adolf Hitler���s Wehrmacht surrounded Leningrad in what was to become one of the longest and most destructive sieges in Western history���almost three years of bombardment and starvation. Trapped between the Nazi invading force and the Soviet government itself was composer Dmitri Shostakovich, writing a symphony to rouse, rally, eulogize, and commemorate his fellow citizens: the��Leningrad Symphony. This is the true story of a city under siege, the triumph of bravery and defiance in the face of terrifying odds. It is also a look at the power���and layered meaning���of music in beleaguered lives.��Symphony for the City of the Dead��is a masterwork thrillingly told and impeccably researched by National Book Award���winning author M. T. Anderson.
