Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov (1896-1974) has forever entered the history of our country as the Marshal of Victory. He was the best military leader of the Red Army, and his contribution to the defeat of the Third Reich cannot be overestimated. Honored with the highest honor of leading the Victory Parade, Marshal Zhukov proclaimed: "By raising the sword against us, the Germans found destruction from our sword. The Great Patriotic War is over. A victory has been achieved, which history has never seen before!" This richly illustrated book by a leading military historian, based not on common myths and quotes from "Memoirs and Reflections," but on operational documents signed by Zhukov himself, reveals the true role of the main "crisis manager" of the Red Army, who was always thrown into the most difficult and dangerous sector of the front, and his invaluable contribution to our Victory. Drawing on Russian and German archival documents, the author debunks widespread myths about the race to Berlin, the bloody battle on the Seelow Heights, positional battles near Moscow and Rzhev, Zhukov's activities as Chief of the General Staff in the last pre-war months and the first weeks of the Great Patriotic War. The edition is illustrated with numerous exclusive photographs, including those from the personal archive of Marshal of the Soviet Union G.K. Zhukov.
