Description

When the shadowy, notorious Spetsnaz were first formed, they drew on a long Soviet tradition of elite, at the back of-the-lines commando forces from World War II and even earlier. During the 1960s-70s they were instrumental both in projecting Soviet power in the Third World and in suppressing resistance within the Warsaw pact. As a powerful, but mysterious tool of a world superpower, the Spetsnaz have inevitably change into the point of interest of many ‘tall tales’ in the West. On this book, a peerless authority on Russia’s military Special Forces debunks several of these myths, uncovering truths which can be steadily even more remarkable. Now, because the chaotic dissolution of the united states and the two Chechen Wars, Russian forces have seen increasing modernization, involving them ever more in power-projection, counter-insurgency and anti-terrorism and the Spetsnaz have been deployed as a spearhead in virtually all of these operations. This book offers a unique, absorbing guide to the secrets of the Spetsnaz, their most noteworthy missions and personalities, but could also be packed with details such as orders-of-battle, equipment and operational doctrine.
