Synopsis
A fascinating account of Russia's Five-Day War against Georgia in 2008, notable for its strategic mistakes which prompted President Putin to undertake major military reforms., A fascinating account of Russia's Five-Day War against Georgia in 2008, notable for its strategic mistakes which prompted President Putin to undertake major military reforms. After Georgia's independence from Russia in 1991, President Saakashvili invited NATO advisers to assist in military reforms. Separatist groups in Georgia's border provinces rebelled which led to fighting in South Ossetia during August 2008. The Russian Army invaded Georgia alongside these forces, stripped it of these rebellious provinces, and garrisoned them to maintain a threat over Georgia. But despite the inevitable outcome of this hugely unbalanced conflict, it revealed serious Russian military weaknesses and incompetence, and the NATO-trained and partly Western-equipped Georgian Army put up a much more successful local resistance than Russia had expected. The conflict also demonstrated the first use of Russian cyber-warfare, and its so-called 'hybrid warfare' doctrine. Author Mark Galeotti is an expert in the field of international relations and a former Foreign Office adviser on Russian security affairs. In this book, he provides a vivid snapshot of the Russian, Georgian, Abkhazian and South Ossetian forces and gives an in-depth analysis of the conflict. Using meticulous color artwork for uniforms, insignia and equipment, rare photographs and detailed 'fact-boxes' for significant units and individuals, this book is a compelling guide to Russia's Five-Day War in Georgia., Since becoming President of Russia in 2000, Vladimir Putin has striven to re-assert Moscow's influence over former Soviet states in Russia's "Near Abroad." In 2008, responding to Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili's open ambitions to attach Georgia to the Western world, the Kremlin manipulated a secessionist movement In the Georgian region of South Ossetia to provoke Saakashvili into armed action. When Georgia launched its military incursion into South Ossetia on August 8, Russia struck back hard. Although the outnumbered Georgians signed a damaging peace agreement after a matter of days, this "Five-Day War" revealed serious flaws in Russia's military readiness - not fully eradicated by the time of Putin's invasion into Ukraine in February 2022. In this book, Dr. Mark Galeotti, an internationally known expert on Russian military and security affairs, provides an in-depth and informed analysis of the Georgian conflict. With the aid of rare photographs and detailed color artwork of the uniforms, insignia, and weapons employed by both regular and irregular combatants, he presents a compelling and cautionary account of Russia's Five-Day War in Georgia.

- r***b (120)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaGraphic novel album was sealed, NM, great value. Seller was great and responsive to communication. Item initially did not arrive despite tracking and me calling USPS, and seller was willing to provide refund to make it right. Ultimately the package showed up days later, which was baffling; seller provided A+ customer service through all of this. Thank You!

Getting it shipped took a little long but the seller was very responsive when I messaged and sent me the tracking as soon as it was available. Plus they did a good job packaging it well enough that despite being banged up on the outside my item was completely undamaged.

Thank you postal service lol. The delivery took way longer than listed though, it was listed to come in a week from purchase, but took a whole month. I had some concerns at first, but communication with the company was top notch and they were very professional and answered most of my questions satisfyingly. Just prepare for a longer wait than listed, but I got what I bought lol.
