Description
The second revised edition of the key book on contemporary Russia.
One of the world's leading experts on contemporary Russia presents in the book Putin's Wars an up-to-date overview of the conflicts that Russia has unleashed since Vladimir Putin came to power – from the first and second Chechen wars to the military invasion of Georgia and the annexation of Crimea, culminating in a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In all these military campaigns, he explains Russia's successes as well as numerous failures and predicts possible scenarios for the development of the invasion of Ukraine.
Professor Galeotti also addresses the broader context of Putin's reconstruction of military power and focuses on how, in this new Cold War with the West, the Russian president increasingly relies on force to assert his interests abroad. His narrative draws on eyewitness accounts and testimonies from former and current Russian and Soviet officers, engagingly introducing readers to the history of the resurgent Russian bear.
