Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges.

Marshal Georgy Zhukov is one of the legendary names of military history. He played a decisive role in the battles of Moscow, Stalingrad and Kursk that brought down the Nazi regime. He was the first of the Allied generals to enter Berlin, and he took the German surrender. He led the huge victory parade in Red Square, riding a white horse, and in doing so, dangerously provoking Stalin's envy.

His post-war career was equally eventful - Zhukov found himself sacked and banished twice, and wrongfully accused of disloyalty.

However, he remains one of the most decorated officers in the history of both Russia and the Soviet Union. Since his death in 1974, Zhukov has increasingly been seen as the indispensable military leader of the Second World War, surpassing Eisenhower, Patton, Montgomery and MacArthur in his military brilliance and ferocity.

Using hundreds of documents from Russian military archives and unpublished versions of Zhukov's memoirs, Geoffrey Roberts fashions a remarkably intimate portrait of a man whose personality was as fascinating as it was contradictory. (back cover)
