With anecdotes of military life, personal snapshots of conflicts and first-hand accounts from serving and retired Russian officers, this timely and accessible history looks broadly at Putin’s recreation of Russian military power and its expansion to include a range of new capabilities. 50,000 first printing. Illustrations.

A new history of how Putin and his conflicts have inexorably reshaped Russia, including his devastating invasion of Ukraine.

A new history of how Putin and his conflicts have inexorably reshaped Russia, including his devastating invasion of Ukraine.

Putin's Wars is a timely overview of the conflicts in which Russia has been involved since Vladimir Putin became prime minister and then president of Russia, from the First Chechen War to the two military incursions into Georgia, the annexation of Crimea and the eventual invasion of Ukraine itself. But it also looks more broadly at Putin's recreation of Russian military power and its expansion to include a range of new capabilities, from mercenaries to operatives in a relentless information war against Western powers. This is an engrossing strategic overview of a rejuvenated Russian military and the successes and failures on the battlefield. Thanks to Dr Galeotti's wide-ranging contacts throughout Russia, it is also peppered with anecdotes of military life, personal snapshots of conflicts, and an extraordinary collection of first-hand accounts from serving and retired Russian officers.

Russia continues to dominate the news cycle throughout the Western world. There is no better time to understand how and why Putin has involved his armed forces in a variety of conflicts for over two decades. There is no author better placed to demystify the capabilities of the Russian military and give a glimpse into what the future may hold.

Putin's Wars is an engaging and important history of a reawakened Russian bear and how it currently operates both at home and abroad to ensure Russia is front and centre on the world stage.

Recenzijas

The prolific military chronicler and analyst Mark Galeotti has produced exactly the right book at the right time. * The Times * Galeottis work is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand current events in Ukraine. -- Gillian Tett * The Financial Times * Putins Wars is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Russias military. * Literary Review * The definitive work on this subject to date. * History of War * Mark Galeotti is one of the most insightful and incisive analysts on Russias past, present, and future. Russias February 2022 expanded invasion of Ukraine tragically highlights the critical importance of understanding the connection between politics and war. Galeotti vividly shows how Russia has waged its wars... [ and] how those wars shaped the countrys politics and, in turn, how politics shaped Moscows military campaigns. * Joshua C. Huminski, Director, Mike Rogers Center for Intelligence and Global Affairs, Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress * This is a vivid account of how Putin has used armed force during his time in power, culminating in the deadly war in Ukraine. * Sir Lawrence Freedman, Emeritus Professor of War Studies, Kings College London * An accessible, lucid and vivid comprehensive contemporary account of the inner workings, logic and rationales of the central military pillar of Putinism. I unreservedly recommend this gem. * Dr Graeme P. Herd, George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies * Putins Wars is Galeotti at his finest: writing that moves like a spy novel and enough information for the student or professional reader An excellent and accessible contribution to the field for seasoned Russian observers and those interested in the larger sweep of how it all transpired. * Dr Yuval Weber, Bren Chair of Russian Military and Political Strategy at the Brute Krulak Center for Innovation and Creativity at the US Marine Corps University *
