RUSI- " Soviet Invasion of Finland 1939-40 is an inspiring adventure even for a Finnish reader... we do hope that some publisher will be enthusiastic enough to publish it in a Finnish translation, too"

"Overall this is an excellent addition to the study of the Winter War and the evolution of Soviet doctrine."
