The Russian Military Today and Tomorrow

📖 The Scoop

Mary Fitzgerald made many contributions to the national security field over the course of the years through her close reading of the writings of Soviet and Russian military officers. Particularly useful was her focus on those of Soviet military theorists who put forward forecasts of future warfare and the impact of technology on warfare. These Russian views deserved respect and study; Mary's work made this possible. Just as Soviet military thinking was arguably the most profound of all military thinking during the interwar period of the 1920s and 1930s, so today we, both as scholars and professional actors, would benefit considerably from paying serious attention to the contemporary corpus of Russian thinking about warfare. Essays are included by Stephen J. Blank , Dale R. Herspring, Jacob W. Kipp, Timothy L. Thomas, Daniel Goure, Mikhail Tsypkin, Joshua B. Spero, and Richard Weitz. A bibliography of Mary Fitzgerald's works is included. Originally published by the U.S. Army's Strategic Studies Institute.
