Soldier as Propagandist

The Memoirs of Marshal Zhukov By G. K. Zhukov

Delacorte, 703 pp., $15 As was made clear by the reading of Marshal Vasili I. Chuikov’s books on Stalingrad and the fall of Berlin, when a Soviet high commander turns author, there is an extra dimension to his writing not to be found in the works of equally celebrated military figures from elsewhere.
