Raymond L. Garthoff 
Soviet Military Doctrine [EPUB ebook] 

Originally published in 1953, Soviet Military Doctrine by Soviet analyst Raymond L. Garthoff was prepared as part of the research program undertaken for the United States Air Force by The RAND Corporation. At the time of its first publication, Soviet Military Doctrine was the most complete and authoritative study available of the basic military science of the USSR."Garthoff again joins the debate on nuclear deterrence and Moscow’s military intentions. He draws on previously confidential Soviet sources-including a complete file of the Soviet general staff journal-to interpret new developments and changes in the Kremlin’s strategic policy. Highly recommended for academic libraries."-James R. Kuhlman, University of Georgia Library, Athens
