The Winter Warriors by Olivier Norek
Set during the 1939–40 Winter War, the novel follows a small Finnish infantry company—farmers, workers and soldiers—who band together to defend their homeland after the Soviet invasion. Centered on the human costs of combat and the legendary sniper Simo Häyhä, it depicts freezing conditions, scarce equipment, and the quiet determination (sisu) that sustains the men and women on the front.
