G. K. Zhukov. Marshal of Victory

He is called the Marshal of Victory and “the commander who won the Second World War.” His name has been forever etched into the tablets of Russian military glory, and an equestrian monument stands at the walls of the Kremlin. Honored with the highest distinction—organizing the Victory Parade—Marshal Zhukov proclaimed from the Mausoleum tribune: “Raising a sword against us, the Germans found death from our sword. The Great Patriotic War is over. Victory has been achieved—one that history has not yet known!” It is precisely for this that, in recent years, revisionist historians led by Viktor Suvorov have taken aim at Zhukov, trying to cast a shadow over the Marshal of Victory—both over the USSR’s main triumph and over the entire Soviet era.

This study refutes all accusations leveled at Zhukov, convincingly proving that Georgy Konstantinovich was the best commander of the Red Army, and that his contribution to the defeat of fascism is beyond measure. This illustrated edition is not only the most objective biography of a brilliant military leader—it is also a key to understanding the scale of his great victories.
