| 520 | |a Drawing on rich new sources from the recently-opened Soviet archives, Geoffrey Roberts has fashioned the definitive, first full-scale biography of this seminal 20th century figure. Marshal Georgi Zhukov is one of military history's legendary names. He played a decisive role 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 took the German surrender. He led the huge victory parade through Red Square, riding a white horse and dangerously provoking Stalin's envy. Zhukov had an equally eventful post-war career, sacked and banished twice, and wrongfully accused of treason. Since his death in 1957 Zhukov has increasingly been seen as the indispensable military leader of WWII, surpassing Eisenhower, Patton, Monty, and MacArthur in his military brilliance and ferocity. A hugely regarded historian of Soviet Russia, Geoffrey Roberts has fashioned the definitive, first full-scale biography of this seminal 20th century figure. | ||
