Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. Largely interesting (and creepy) for Cold War mindset in action. ( ) Viktor Suvorov’s book is somewhat of a mixed bag. Author just cannot decide whether to criticize former-soviet-union Special Forces or to compliment them. In one chapter they are depicted as rather savage bunch ready to do anything to accomplish the mission, even to shoot their own if they hinder them in any way (remember Omega Squad from “Canadian Bacon” :) ) only to be depicted [in following chapters] as best of the best, dedicated professionals with high regard of honor and camaraderie (I mean camaraderie – if one has to be on constant watch not to be shot by his own teammates what are we talking about here). Book is full of these contrasts, but nevertheless it is a rare book on the subject and there lies its worth. So read it with open-mind and do not take everything for granted – there are other great history books out there with additional information on these mysterious but highly regarded units. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
This is the first comprehensive insight for the West into a Soviet "army within an army" whose existence has been known until recently only to a few highly placed people--most of whom would deny it.The spetsnaz Soviet special forces are one of the more shadowy and ruthless secret special forces in the world. Controlled by military intelligence (the GRU), spetsnaz units are recruited from the ranks of the toughest officers and men in the Soviet Army, the cutting edge of Soviety military might. In modern warfare their primary task is the destruction of enemy tactical nuclear weapons, but the training of anyone selected for spetsnaz prepares him or her for an unlimited range of tasks--from undercover activity as a member of a Soviet Olympic sports team to piloting a midget submarine.As an officer in the GRU, the author was directly involved in the control and planning of spetsnaz. In this revealing and sometimes shocking book, he talks about his own experience; about the military code of an armed force that kills its own wounded; about the weapons, strategy, and training. For anyone interested in the true military capability of the Soviet Union, this book is essential reading. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
