Description
Mark Galeotti, one of the world’s leading experts on contemporary Russia, presents an overview of the conflicts Russia has launched since Vladimir Putin came to power, from the First and Second Chechen Wars and the military intervention in Georgia to the annexation of Crimea and the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. He explains the successes and numerous failures of each campaign and considers possible scenarios for the development of the invasion of Ukraine. Galeotti also examines the broader context of Putin’s reconstruction of Russian military power and the way the Russian president increasingly relies on force to pursue his foreign-policy interests in the new Cold War with the West. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and statements by former and serving Russian and Soviet officers, he engagingly introduces readers to the history of the Russian bear’s resurgence.
