This work uses Russian archival and previously classified secondary
sources to document the experience of the Red Army in conflict with
Finland. Van Dyke examines the diplomatic, organizational and
social aspects of the Soviet strategic culture by first exploring
the Leninist interpretation of violence in international relations,
and how this legacy influenced Stalin in his use of diplomacy and
threat of force to enhance the Soviet Union's forward defence and
to address the Baltic problem in 1939. He documents the Red Army's
poor battlefield performances and looks at how it relearned the
techniques lost during Stalin's purge in the late 1930s. The book
examines the Soviet high command's post-war evaluation of the
lessons learned, the debates of the re-professionalization of the
officer corps and the effectiveness of the unified military
doctrine.
