The book by journalist Ariadna Rokossovskaya, great-granddaughter of Marshal of the Soviet Union K. K. Rokossovsky, contains interviews with the children and grandchildren of the famous military leaders of the Great Patriotic War G. K. Zhukov, I. S. Konev, A. M. Vasilevsky, R. Ya. Malinovsky, I. H. Bagramyan, A. I. Eremenko, L. A. Govorov, I. D. Chernyakhovsky, published in different years in the "Russian Newspaper". The great generals who commanded the fronts and armies were people with powerful charisma, the strongest energy. They made an indelible impression on everyone who had the good fortune to communicate with them. But what kind of people were they, what did they feel when they were alone in the rare moments of calm between battles, what did they remember when they reread their letters from home? We have a unique chance to find out what the war heroes were like in everyday life, what they remained in the memories of their relatives and friends, for whom they are not just the heroes of a documentary chronicle, but fathers and grandfathers, a living family history. Many of the photos provided by the relatives of the book's characters are published for the first time. The preface to the book was written by the daughter of Marshal I. S. Konev, Natalia Ivanovna Koneva.
