Inside the Soviet Army

by Viktor Suvorov

This book describes the general organization, doctrine, and strategy of the Soviet armed forces. It includes vast array of topics, ranging from the organizational structure of the armed forces in peace and war to personal reminiscences about life in the barracks and officers' clubs. The term 2Army3 in the title covers not only the land forces, but also strategic rocket, air, and naval forces. Much of what Mr. Suvorov writes about Soviet military affairs tallies with the conclusions reached in Western analyses.
