Description

Year of Victory is a firsthand account by Marshal Ivan Stepanovich Konev of the final stages of World War II and the Soviet Army's decisive victories in Eastern Europe.

The book, written by the commander who led the 1st Ukrainian Front, provides an authentic and detailed analysis of the strategic and operational situation during those critical days. It includes personal reflections on modern warfare, the art of mobilizing large forces, and the morale of Soviet soldiers.

Spanning just over a hundred days, Konev's story covers pivotal operations such as the liberation of Krakow, Prague, Dresden, and Berlin, where thousands of Soviet soldiers won distinction and thousands lost their lives. The book offers a unique perspective on these events, drawing on the author's firsthand experience and knowledge.
