Includes Conclusion and Name Index. Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov (1 December 1896 - 18 June 1974) was a Marshal of the Soviet Union. He served as Chief of the General Staff, Minister of Defence, and was a member of the Presidium of the Communist Party. During WWII, Zhukov oversaw some of the Red Army's most decisive victories. He served in the Red Army during the Russian Civil War. By 1939 Zhukov was given command of an army group and won a decisive battle over Japanese forces at Khalkhin Gol, for which he won the first of his four Hero of the Soviet Union awards. In February 1941, Zhukov was appointed as chief of the Red Army's General Staff. He organized the defense of Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad. He participated in planning several major offensives, including the Battle of Kursk and Operation Bagration. In recognition of Zhukov's role in the war, he was chosen to accept the German Instrument of Surrender. In 1955, he was appointed as Defence Minister and made a member of the Presidium. In 1957 Zhukov lost favor again and was forced to retire. He never returned to a position of influence and died in 1974. Like all memoirs, the book is autobiographical. The centerpiece of the book is the second volume, with the depiction of the greater portion of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people of 1941 - 1945. This volume includes information on the Battle of Moscow, the Nazi defeat at Stalingrad, the Battle of Kursk, the Liberation of Byelorussia and the Ukraine, fighting from the Vistula to the Oder, the siege and taking of Berlin, the Unconditional Surrender of Germany, and the Potsdam Conference.
