Text of Note

The authors confront the range of Soviet military strengths, including intercontinental nuclear power, conventional ground forces and naval capabilities and special operations. They address questions of weapons research and development, military planning and policy-making, and the role of civilian critics on Soviet military objectives. Other chapters explore the erosion of the Soviet Army's diminished influence on Eastern Europe as well as the lessons of Afghanistan. Based on primary Soviet sources and extensive personal experiences, Soviet strategy and new military thinking is an authoritative and comprehensive evaluation of Soviet military power amid kaleidoscopic political and strategic change. It will be widely read by students and specialists of security studies, international relations and the Soviet Union; by journalists, diplomats and military professionals.

Text of Note

Whatever the outcome of the current constitutional reforms, the Soviet Union will remain a military superpower with global security interests. The doctrines, practices, and capabilities of its still formidable armed forces are shaping world politics just at the time that the future of the country that created them is in doubt. This is the first book to examine the Soviet defense outlook and military forces in the light of these developments. In Soviet strategy and new military thinking a group of leading strategists and Sovietologists, writing from within the US national security community, analyzes the unprecedented changes, as well as the troubling continuities, that characterize Soviet military thinking during the 1990s.
