Олег Нуждин - Битва за Севастополь. Последний штурм

"Soviet troops left Sevastopol by order of the Supreme Command," reported "Pravda" on July 4, 1942. In reality, on that day the Primorskaya army was still holding defense on the Khersones peninsula, hoping for help from the Black Sea Fleet. But help never came. Only the highest military-political leadership (a total of 1726 people) was evacuated from the besieged Sevastopol, while over 120 thousand fighters (a third of them wounded) were doomed to death or captivity...Why did the fortress city fall? Whose fault was it that the eight-month Sevastopol ordeal ended in a bloody catastrophe, and battle-hardened divisions were abandoned to fate? Why didn't the mass heroism and self-sacrifice of our troops save the city of Russian military glory? And was there a chance to defend Crimea? Answering the most bitter and painful questions, this book meticulously reconstructs the tragic history of the last siege of Sevastopol, day by day and hour by hour.
