Description
An interesting sketch of Marshal Timoshenko by a famous German dissident who fled to Russia when the Nazis came to power in his homeland."e;This book is not a biography.A final judgment cannot be reached about Timoshenko because, unlike the work of an artist or scientist who can be judged by a single accomplishment, the work of a general depends on the final result.This book is an attempt to study the Russian soldier from a socio-psychological viewpoint.It is not so much the history of an individual as of a type. Timoshenko is for us a characteristic product of Bolshevik militarism, a man who has lived through the entire development of the Soviet regime, from the initial overthrow of Tsarism to the present life and death struggle against the German invader."e;-From the Author's Foreword, 1942
