Lively accounts and maps describe the actions of these wars, along with the Crimea operation of 2014, the separatist struggles in eastern Ukraine and the ongoing Russian intervention in Syria"--

"This book continues the narrative begun by the author in the preceding volume. This new work provides a clear and readable description of military combat occurring in Latin America for the years 1948 to the start of 1982. Though concentrating on a combat narrative, matters of politics, business and international relations appear as necessary to understand the wars"--Provided by publisher.

"Russia's surprising return to the world stage since 2000 has aroused the curiosity-if not the fear-of the West. Gradually, the Kremlin went from a policy of deference to foreign powers to acting with independence. The driver of this transformation was President Vladimir Putin, who with skillful caution navigated Russia back into the ranks of global powers. In theaters of conflict such as Georgia, Syria and Ukraine, the Kremlin won significant victories at little cost to consolidate its decisive position. Following a chronological approach from the fall of the Soviet Union to the present, this book draws on new documents to describe how Russia regained its former global prominence, with clear accounts of key decisions and foreign policy events-many presented for the first time-and important insights into the major confrontations with the West."
