A History of the Red Army, Soviet Army and Russian Army in 100
Years of Conflict From the chaos of the civil war to the political
manoeuvring of the Cold War, Russia's armed forces have shaped the
future not only of Russia but of countless other countries around
the globe. The Great Bear at War: The Russian and Soviet Army,
1917-Present explores the development and struggles of Soviet and
Russian armed forces across the numerous conflicts which mark its
history. It charts the great historical events that have defined
the Red/Russian Army, especially World War II and the Cold War, but
also the post-communist insurgencies and wars in which the Russian
military has redeveloped its outlook and mission. The post-Soviet
development of the Russian military into a modern force is explored
in detail, including its controversial campaigns in Chechnya
(1999-2009), Georgia (2008), and Ukraine (from 2014). Sewn into the
narrative are details about the equipment, uniforms, training,
service conditions and weaponry of the Soviet/Russian soldiers,
bringing personal experience and technological context to the
broader history. At a time when the world is closely focused upon
Russian military behaviour, The Great Bear at War is both timely
and fascinating.
