Description
Drawing extensively on primary sources, Roger McDermott explores the role of Russian military thought in the modernization process, changes in military decisionmaking, developments stemming from Russian military operations in Syria, and other key factors.
The success of Russia's military modernization efforts should not be assessed solely through a Western lens.... Russia's Path to the High-Tech Battlespace provide[s] the necessary blueprint for complete understanding and assessment." — Charles K. Bartles, Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth
