Los guerreros del invierno

On November 30, 1939, Finland—a small nation with a sparse population and barely a few decades of existence—received a declaration of war from a formidable enemy: Stalin's Russia. The infamous "Winter War" began, which Russia believed it would win in just a few weeks of fighting. But the Soviet troops encountered a far more formidable adversary than they had anticipated, and the conflict became a veritable frozen hell that dragged on for months. While the world held its breath, hesitant to get involved, a nation rose up, driven by a spirit capable of defying all logic. And from among the fervent crowds emerged a figure destined to change the course of the war: Simo Häyhä, Finland's deadliest sniper, feared and revered in equal measure. A hero. The David who defied Goliath. On both sides of the trenches, his nickname was whispered: the White Death. Olivier Norek has written a powerful and deeply moving novel, where human drama, epic war stories, and the building of a legend are intertwined with the most hostile ice and the incandescence of the human will.
