В походах и боях

In his memoirs, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, Army General Pavel Ivanovich Batov talks about the people of the famous 65th Army, which fought from the Volga to the Oder. The reader will become acquainted with the plan and implementation of a number of outstanding operations in which the army under the command of P. I. Batov took part, and will learn about many heroes whose courage and skill won victories. The book attracts with thoughts about the qualities of a commander, about the art of military education, about the fiery party word that inspires people and leads them to heroism. These arguments are all the more interesting because they belong to a major military leader who has a long and difficult life path behind him: he began his military service in the trenches of the first imperialist war, participated in the campaigns of detachments of the young Red Army, and fought as a volunteer in Spain.
