Abstract
In this article Makhmut Gareev, a preeminent military historian and theorist in his own right, analyzes the command style of Marshal of the Soviet Union G. K. Zhukov and applies his conclusions to the nature of the command in contemporary and future war. Most important, Gareev contemplates Zhukov's legacy as the Russian Federation confronts the many challenges facing it and the Russian Armed Forces. As described in the introduction by Jacob Kipp, the West's most capable student of Russian political‐military affairs, Gareev uses ‘the Zhukov legacy as a test against which to measure current problems and alternative solutions.’ [Ed.]
