Volk — "the Wolf" — is a professional. He does not believe in flags or heroes; he believes in the number on the contract. So when his commander, the massive and pitiless Kupol, offers him a tripled bonus to take the Azovmash complex at Bakhmut, Volk accepts the tools he's handed without flinching: a penal battalion of convicts, armed with rifles older than their grandfathers, to be spent as human minesweepers. Their job is to run at the guns and die. His job is to watch, and map the enemy's fire in their blood. It is clean. It is simple. It is, in its own way, elegant. Then one of the ...

This book analyzes the evolution of Russian military thought and how Russia's current thinking about war is reflected in recent crises. What Jonsson reveals is that Russia's conception of the very nature of war is now changing, as Russian elites see information warfare and political subversion as the most important ways to conduct contemporary war. Since information warfare and political subversion are below the traditional threshold of armed violence, this has blurred the boundaries between war and peace. 

The Russian military and KGB’s planned coup and assassination of General Secretary Gorbachev threatened to disrupt the tenuous end of the Cold War with the United States. President Reagan would have none of it. Thwarting those Russian conspirators, who called themselves Red Sword, fell into the CIA’s lap. But rather than use a seasoned agent, the CIA considered rookie Nathan West. Would West be up to the task? He had the smarts. And as a former West Virginia State Trooper, he had some experience. But this job was in a whole other league. The CIA’s rigorous—and severe—program would...

NIGHT WITCHES The Women Who Terrorized the Wehrmacht and Vanished from History They flew wooden biplanes through darkness. They had no radios, no armor, no parachutes. They were teenagers given obsolete aircraft and impossible missions. And they terrified the most powerful military machine in Europe.

What emerged was the 588th Night Bomber Regiment—young women flying 1920s crop-dusting biplanes on nocturnal bombing raids against German positions. The...

What happens when a Soviet fighter outlives the empire that created it? The Sukhoi Su-27 "Flanker" emerged from the Soviet Union as one of the most fearsome fighters of its generation—a long-range air superiority platform built to meet the American F-15 Eagle on equal terms. But the collapse of the USSR ensured that the Flanker's story would unfold far beyond the Cold War battlefields for which it had been designed. In Killbox Flanker, military historian Mike Guardia (author of Tomcat Fury and Viper Alley) traces the combat history of the Su-27 family from its Cold War origins to the ...
