Blitzkrieg and the Russian art of war moves beyond discussions of ‘hybrid’ warfare to offer a broad account of contemporary Russian thinking on war. Exploring key concepts in Russian military thinking, it contributes to the debate about Russia’s role in international affairs and the challenge the country poses to the international order. -- .
A cutting-edge investigation of how Russia makes war.
Russian strategy in the twenty-first century has been described in terms of ‘hybrid’ warfare, an approach characterised by cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns. But as the invasion of Ukraine has brutally demonstrated, conventional armed violence remains a key element of Russian power.
In Blitzkrieg and the Russian art of war, Andrew Monaghan offers a high-level view of Russian thinking about warfare. Drawing on extensive Russian sources, he addresses important questions that have been overlooked by most Western commentators: what is the military leadership’s distinctive idea of twenty-first-century blitzkrieg? How does it understand holistic territorial defence? How does it manage the shifting balance between offence and defence?
Introducing key concepts from Russian military thinking, Blitzkrieg and the Russian art of war is a crucial resource for understanding Russia’s resurgent role on the global stage and the devastating threat the country poses to the international order. -- .
