- catalog abstract ""[Zhukov] had a reputation for utter determination and ruthlessness in achieving his objectives, regardless of the cost in human lives, and for demanding instant and absolute obedience to orders. In an army of millions the keys to success lay in strategy, logistics and determination, and Zhukov was master of all three. He lay great stress on personal reconnaissance and concise briefings. Having endured good planning and adequate resources for the attack, he left the execution to the subordinates, ensuring that they gained their objectives, irrespective of the cost. Here we see the contrast with his Western counterparts, whose experiences in the First World War had made them and their home countries opposed to any wastage of human life"--P. 10.".
