Marshal Zhukov's Greatest Battles: The battle of Moscow ; 2: The battle of Stalingrad ; 3: The battle of Kursk ; 4: The battle of Berlin

"Considered by some to be the greatest general of World War II, General Georgi Zhukov served as the Chief of Staff of the Soviet High Command, leading Soviet troops against Germans in key battles of the war. In his account of four major campaigns in the war-the defense of Moscow, Stalingrad, and Kursk, and the advance on Berlin-Zhukov describes his experiences preparing for German attacks, organizing counter-strikes, assessing the enemy, and issuing the orders that pushed the front west, towards Germany's capital. Zhukov also tells of his extensive arguments with Stalin during the war, and the political alliances and rivalries among the U. S. S. R.'s generals throughout the conflict."-- Provided by publisher "The portions of the Marshal Zhukov articles here translated into English are based upon the Russian text appearing in Voyenno-Istoricheskii Zhurnal, published by the Ministry of Defense in Moscow ... and in Stalingradskaya Epopeya, published by the Military Publishing House in Moscow."
