About this book

Stalin's General: The Life of Georgy Zhukov by Geoffrey Roberts. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781848315174.

It is arguable that Georgy Zhukov was the greatest of the Allied generals of the Second World War, surpassing Eisenhower, Montgomery or Patton in military effectiveness. Unlike his rival Red Army generals he was prepared to stand up to Stalin when necessary and although charming in his private life, was a brutal and decisive commander. This is the first major biography of the Soviet hero, drawing on newly available sources in the Russian archives and previously unpublished excerpts from Zhukovs own memoirs. Slightly off-mint.
