The Financial Times – Best books of 2022: Politics '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.
