This book, first published in 1985, is the first full-length study
of the Soviet Armed Forces as a social institution. Using military
manpower as a substantive focus, it identifies those
characteristics that the Soviet military shared with counterparts
in non-communist systems and those that were unique to the society
and political culture in which it was embedded. The discussion
encompasses defence policy-making as a whole and focuses on
conscription policy, the characteristics of the professional
military, the role of the political officer, the mechanics of
political socialization within the Red Army, and the experience of
ethnic minorities in the armed forces. This analysis provides a
window through which we can observe the broader military system at
work; how that system affects, and in turn is affected by, the
economic, social and political life of the Soviet Union. It
contributes to our understanding of civil-military relations in
communist systems and to our knowledge of Soviet political and
social trends.
