In the life of the great commander Marshal Zhukov there were many difficult, tragic, and sometimes terrible pages, when he had to defend his honor against slander, slander, and hatred. Neither Stalin, nor Khrushchev, nor Brezhnev, nor dozens of other political figures of lower rank could forgive the marshal for his outstanding strategic talents, strength of character, and independence. The book by Vladimir Karpov tells about the trials that Marshal Zhukov had to overcome over the course of twenty-five years - and his disgrace lasted a quarter of a century. This publication publishes previously unknown and inaccessible documents.
