Download e-book: Russia’s Military Might

2021-09-06 By Anders Puck Nielsen Leave a Comment

In the beginning of the year, the Danish version of a book on Russia’s military capabilities came out. The book was edited by Niels Bo Poulsen and Jørgen Staun from the Royal Danish Defence College, and I was fortunate enough to write the chapter on the Russian navy.

Academic books are often expensive, and the Danish version retails for almost 60 euros in bookstores. But now the English translation is out, and it is an absolutely free download. The English title is “Russia’s Military Might – A Portrait of its Armed Forces”, and you can download the whole book as a PDF on the button below.
