	An Introduction to the Winter War and Kollaa Will Hold
		The Soviets were worried that despite a 1932 non-aggression treaty Finland might permit Germany to land troops on its soil and use the country as a springboard to assault Leningrad, then only some 30 kilometers from the Finnish border.
		In the peace treaty the country was forced to yield to all the Soviet demands made before the war as well as to a number of new ones.
		But unrelenting Soviet interference in Finnish internal matters and the people's desire to get even ensured that the Winter War would prove to be but a prelude to a far longer and bloodier conflict, the Continuation War of 1941-1944.

		This was the first book I ever read on the Winter War, and as a 14 year old it was a gripping read then.
		Having visited some of the battlefields of this war, it also fails to convey in the reader the conditions faced and seems almost to have sanitised the whole conflict.
		There are much better books on the Winter war available, but sadly the best are not available in English.
