Great historical read... Oct 09, 2008
Had a vague idea about the 1939-1940 war between Finland and Russia, but now I know the whole story. Kudos to the author for a great read and to the Finnish people for their incredible spirit against all odds. Kept me riveted up to the last page.

 Penetrating insight into the Winter War Sep 20, 2008
Excellent story set against the turmoil of war, the comparatively little known conflict between Finland and Soviet Russia in 1939. Frederick Brogger has done research in depth to get a real feeling for the oustanding bravery of the Finns in their struggle to withstand the predator Russians. Against this background he tells a heartfelt story of romance as a young American is caught up in events which test him to the ultimate. Enthralling story, highly recommended.

Great Blend of Fact and Fiction Sep 16, 2008
Journey into Winter provide insight into a part of hisotry with wich I was not familiar. The blend of the story line around the facts of the war mad for very interesting reading. The autor had an ability to write in a way that I could actually visualize Finaland in the winter--bitter cold weather, forzen lakes, and deep snows. Excellent reading.

Anti Russian Sep 05, 2008
No one can put this book down. The research that has gone into this book is amazing and the contemporary relevance is striking what with the main setting of this book being the Soviet invasion of Finland in 1939 with the Russians occupying parts of Georgia only weeks ago. The characters, those Finnish, American, British and German combined with the heroic defense of Finland make this a book that must be read.
