Commanders of the Armies, Great Patriotic a
Biographic Encyclopedia. Abramov, Ageev et al. C. 2005,
Moscow. Russian text, hard cover, 406 pp., format 9½" x 6¾"
x 1". Part of the 4-volume "Great Patriotic" series.
Outstanding comprehensive reference, first of its kind. The
book includes biography of every Soviet general who
commanded an army at some point during WW2. Included are
commanders of not only the "regular" armies, but also Tank
Armies, Sapper Armies, Antiaircraft Armies, Air Armies, and
Armies of the Wojsko Polskie (Polish troops fighting
alongside Red Army), plus the Guards Airborne Army and
Leningrad Militia Army. There is a total of well over 250
names.
Some of the commanders listed in the book became very
prominent in the later years of the war, including such
famous names as Marshal Konev and Marshal Rokossovsky, but
many others are virtually unknown in the West.
Every entry is accompanied by a b/w photo. Although this
book is similar in format to previously published catalogs
such as Heroes of the Soviet Union, the information
provided in it is much more detailed and interesting.
Additional to the usual biographical data and list of
awards, each article has a review of the general's role in
major WW2 operations in which he played a part in any
capacity. Included are also many important facts of the pre-
war and post-war careers.
Highly recommended!
