The book is an excellent supplement to the standard catalog Cavaliers of all Three Classes of the Order of Glory, adding many details omitted in the one-volume catalog. Many of the stories are apparently based on personal interviews conducted by the author.

Each article is accompanies by a large photograph of the recipient. Scarce out of print reference. We are offering a superb copy in excellent unused condition. The top and bottom edges of the spine show a bit of wear. Of note is that the slight variance in the color of paper on pp.65 through 96 is not a defect but an example of a rather common practice in Soviet era publishing. When there was insufficient quantity of paper of the same quality, they used "the next best" paper that was available.
