Putin's Wars

This book provides a detailed overview of the conflicts Russia has been involved in since Vladimir Putin became president.

It covers the First and Second Chechen Wars, the military incursion into Georgia, the annexation of Crimea, and the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Mark Galeotti, a leading expert on modern Russia, offers insights into the inner workings of the Kremlin and the evolution of the Russian military.

The book also discusses the broader strategic context and the impact of these conflicts on Russia's military reforms and international standing.

Updated to include the aborted coup of June 2023 and the Russian military's struggles in Ukraine, it is a thought-provoking analysis of how Putin's wars have reshaped Russia in the 21st century.
