Russia's Five-Day War

Given the limitations of the Vanguard format, this book does a good job at providing an interesting and informative overview of the chosen topic. Recommended as a good starting point.

In 2008, the new Republic of Georgia unwisely provoked a fight with Russia over the contested Georgian provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Georgian forces were no match for the numbers that could be generated by Russia and its regional allies. The result derived Georgia of a significant portion of its national territory. A poorly coordinated performance also prompted Russia to relook the readiness of its forces for conventional conflict.This Osprey Elite series book by experienced author Mark Galeotti provides a terse but informative account of the war and some insights into what worked, and what didn't, for the Georgians and the Russians. The text is nicely supported by period photographs, maps, and illustrations. Well recommended as a precursor to the current conflict in Ukraine.

Bra bok, snabb leverans!

2023年現在極めて有能な駐日大使を派遣しているジョージアがロシアに侵攻された5日間のことが書かれています。ウクライナ紛争がなぜ長期化しているのかという観点で読んでいくと有益かもしれません。

Make sure you know this pamphlet is just that and not a full sized 8x11 book. A good summary type publication. Lots of graphics.
