Soviet Airland Battle Tactics by William P. Baxter

Soviet Airland Battle Tactics by William P. Baxter was originally published in 1986. This book provides western military officers a look inside Soviet decision-making, tactics and strategy. The title is somewhat of a misnomer since the Soviets didn't have the same sort of view of combined arms that Western militaries do.

The book starts out with a discussion of the way that decisions were made on questions of military science. After this there is material on different types of units, command and control, logistics and medical. I'm not too sure how well the material holds up when compared with the access given after the collapse of the Soviet Union. A lot of what is here does pass the smell test.

Recommended.
