Marshal Zhukov by Albert Axell

'The best of the best' is how Marshal Georgy Zhukov has been described by his fellow Russian Generals. This book emphasises that Zhukov was a great general in the most stupendous war in history, and he stood apart in the galaxy of Russian generals who fought on the Nazi-Soviet front.Zhukov's leadership on the field is shown in such epic battles as Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk and Berlin. Nobody was more decorated than Zhukov. This book also explores Zhukov's volatile relationship with Stalin and discusses his achievements and various appointments throughout the war. So why did one of the greatest military commanders of the twentieth century end his life in obscurity? This book holds the answers.

"Zhukov springs to life on every page..a vivid, inspiring and indispensable account of the greatest Russian military leader" Martin McCauley "Albert Axell gets us closer to the real Zhukov than any previous biography...
