Fate sometimes lifted him high, sometimes mercilessly threw him down. It seems that everyone knows everything about him - four times Hero of the Soviet Union, hero of Mongolia, outstanding commander, twice awarded the Order of Victory, Marshal G.K. Zhukov. But this is far from true. Zhukov can and should be approached in a new way, and many facts and events of his life should be objectively assessed. The author shows him as an earthly man, in all the complexity of his nature, relying on little-known and hitherto unknown documentary materials, on the testimonies of Zhukov's comrades and his enemies.
