Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider City of Thieves by David Benioff. Recommended by 6 sources.
“City of Thieves reads like a compact survival buddy tale set during the siege of Leningrad: brisk plotting, bleak conditions, and a running thread of dark, often gallows humor as two young men hunt for a dozen eggs. Its useful part is the human-sized adventure—small missions expose moral choices under extreme scarcity. The main limitation is tonal whiplash: comic camaraderie and sudden violence can jar, frustrating readers who prefer consistently sober or documentary-style wartime fiction.”
