Putin Takes Crimea 2014: Grey-Zone Warfare Opens the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
An authoritative analysis of how Putin's Russia conquered the Crimea in 2014 using 'grey zone' warfare techniques, blending operations by anonymous special forces with cyber, sabotage, and propaganda.
Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 was almost bloodless - fought as much through propaganda, cyberattacks and subversion as by force of arms - but it is crucial for our understanding of both modern warfare and recent Russian history. Ironically, this slick triumph eventually led to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the largest and costliest conventional war in Europe since 1945.Expert Analysis of Modern Hybrid Warfare
This book provides a detailed account of the Crimea conquest from Professor Mark Galeotti, a leading authority on modern Russian forces. The illustrated study explores how Russia developed its new model of 'hybrid' or 'grey-zone' warfare, and planned and deployed it against Crimea. From the choreographed appearance of 'spontaneous' protesters through to the deployment of unbadged Russian elite forces, Galeotti dissects each phase of this carefully orchestrated operation.Lessons from Crimea to 2022
Galeotti examines the lessons that Russia, Ukraine, and the West took from the Crimea operation - both correctly and mistakenly. The book reveals how this apparently textbook operation sowed the seeds that would erupt so catastrophically in 2022, providing essential context for understanding the current Russia-Ukraine conflict.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Osprey Publishing (UK)ISBN-13:9781472853844ISBN-10:1472853849UPC:9781472853844Book Category:HistoryBook Subcategory:Russia, MilitaryBook Topic:Special ForcesSize:9.78 x 7.33 x 0.21 inchesWeight:0.571Product ID:SCGPH6VND9
