Generalissimo Suvorov: 'We Are Russian — the Enemy Trembles Before Us!'

This is not just a detailed biography of the greatest Russian commander. It’s more than a study of A.V. Suvorov’s fighting career—of all his campaigns, battles, and victories. This is the first Suvorov encyclopedia, illustrated with hundreds of paintings, maps, drawings, and reconstructions. His triumphs entered legend. His “Science of Victory” became a desk book for any officer. His name is forever inscribed in the Russian calendar of military glory. In his honor, the highest military order of the USSR was named. A national hero—the Generalissimo of the Russian Empire, Count of Rymnik, Prince of Italy—more than a genius, the God of war, Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov, crushed the Polish rebellion and the Pugachev uprising, defeated the Turks, and became the only commander who managed, several times in a row, to shatter the revolutionary French army. Even the enemies marveled at his legendary crossing of his “miracle heroes” through the Alps.
