The most significant strategic development in the second half of the twentieth century has been the emergence of the Soviet Union as a superpower. This dominant position is firmly founded on military strength, and the Soviet Union's relentless expansionist policies would be impossible without the support of a well-manned, well-equipped armed force. More than for any other nation, the USSR's political position, in Europe and throughout the world, depends on the might of the Soviet war machine. Even in internal affairs, the generals and admirals have a massive influence on the development of Soviet policy.

In this book, the role of military power in the Soviet state and the policy aims are examined, including the performance of Individual weapons. Chapters cover war and Soviet history, the nuclear superpower, land, air and naval power and the Soviet fighting man. Includes over 300 illustrations.
