Description: FeaturesDimensions: 7 wide x 10 tall80 PagesFully illustrated throughoutGrey-zone warfare opens the Russia-Ukraine conflict Galeotti/i> 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. This is a fascinating account of the Crimea conquest from a supremely qualified expert on modern Russian forces. Illustrated throughout it 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. In this book Mark Galeotti explores the lessons that Russia Ukraine and the West took from it - correctly and mistakenly - and how this apparently textbook operation sowed the seeds that would erupt so catastrophically in 2022.
