'The prolific military chronicler and analyst Mark Galeotti has
produced exactly the right book at the right time.' - The Times 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 the 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.
