Putin Takes Crimea 2014: Grey-zone warfare opens the Russia-Ukraine conflict (Raid, 59)

Looking for an authoritative analysis on one of the most significant conflicts in recent history? Look no further than "Putin Takes Crimea 2014: Grey-zone warfare opens the Russia-Ukraine conflict" by Mark Galeotti. This book delves into the fascinating story of how Putin's Russia conquered Crimea using innovative 'grey zone' warfare techniques. From anonymous special forces operations to cyberattacks and propaganda, every aspect of this conquest is analyzed in detail. By understanding this complex event, we gain valuable insights into modern warfare and recent Russian history.

What makes this book even more compelling is the fact that Russia's annexation of Crimea was not fought primarily through force, but rather through a combination of propaganda, cyberattacks, and subversion. Mark Galeotti, a supremely qualified expert on modern Russian forces, chronicles how this slick triumph eventually led to Ukraine's full-scale invasion - the largest and costliest conventional war in Europe since 1945. This account is richly illustrated, allowing you to visualize every aspect of Russia's hybrid or 'grey zone' warfare.

Learn the lessons that Russia, Ukraine, and the West took from this highly strategic operation, both correctly and mistakenly. With the benefit of hindsight, Galeotti explores how the seemingly textbook operation in Crimea sowed the seeds for the catastrophic events that unfolded in 2022. This book is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in geopolitics, international relations, and military strategy.
