the book gives a significant place to the Soviet Army. It tells how the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was created, how it grew stronger and improved in a fierce struggle with numerous enemies, how its power grew continuously. I would like to tell the younger generation how the fathers fought for his happiness in the harsh years of the Great Patriotic War. And, finally, about the events, a participant and witness of which I had to be, about how the Soviet government and the Communist Party raised the marshal from a working boy.
