{"product_id":"9781781592915","title":"Marshal of Victory: The Autobiography of General Georgy Zhukov","description":"Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov remains a national hero in today’s Russia as the man who beat Hitler and saved both Russia and Europe from the Nazis. His reputation is that of a Russian patriot and an independent-minded general who remained a key figure in Stalin’s high command throughout the Great Patriotic War. Zhukov played a significant role in virtually all the principal battles on the Eastern Front during the Second World War – including Moscow, Leningrad, Stalingrad, Kursk and Berlin. It was Zhukov who formally accepted Germany’s unconditional surrender on 9 May 1945. \u003cp\u003eIn his post-war autobiography Zhukov chronicled his brilliant career as he saw it – and wanted it to be seen. His memoirs reveal the why and how of decision-making at the highest level of the Soviet command throughout the war, and his continued loyalty to the Soviet dictator despite being demoted after the war. Zhukov’s writing is a fascinating and invaluable source for anyone interested in the war on the Eastern Front and presents intriguing insights into Zhukov the man as well as Zhukov the military commander.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pen and Sword","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037795533040,"sku":"9781781592915","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781781592915_p0.jpg?v=1763717948","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781781592915","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
