Description

Grey-zone warfare: a new model of modern conflict. In 2014, Russia's annexation of Crimea was a masterclass in using propaganda, cyberattacks, and subversion to achieve its goals, rather than relying solely on force. Mark Galeotti, a leading expert on modern Russian forces, explores how Russia developed and deployed this approach, and the lessons that were learned from it.

This book is a fascinating account of the Crimea conquest, illustrated throughout with detailed analysis of the tactics and strategies used. Galeotti examines how Russia's 'hybrid' or 'grey zone' warfare model was planned and deployed, from the choreographed appearance of 'spontaneous' protesters to the deployment of unbadged elite forces.

The consequences of this operation are still being felt today, and understanding how it was carried out is crucial for understanding modern warfare and recent Russian history. This book provides a unique insight into the events that led to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and the lessons that were learned from the Crimea campaign.
