Sevastopol-42 from victory to defeat

January-June 1942 ...
The besieged Sevastopol with the last forces is opposed by the fierce attacks of the German troops ...
Unfortunately - this episode of the Great Patriotic War, so far, in many ways, remains unknown.
Writing about the final stage of the defense of Sevastopol is extremely difficult. There are many reasons: the lack of Soviet documents lost (and not compiled) in the last days of defense, and, the presence of a sufficiently established point of view on this issue. But this is not the main difficulty ...
The final stage of the defense of the city is the heroic page of history, but it is full of tragedy. This is a story of errors and severe defeats. In Soviet times, it was customary to write only about its heroic sides, but this is a vicious practice. Errors must be recognized, and lessons from them.
The new book of the famous Crimean historian Alexander Nemenko, on the basis of previously unknown documents, restores the defense of Sevastopol by day from January to June 16, 1942
