'The prolific military chronicler and analyst Mark Galeotti has
produced exactly the right book at the right time.' - The TimesA
new history of how Putin and his conflicts have inexorably reshaped
Russia, including his devastating invasion of Ukraine. Putin's Wars
is a timely overview of the conflicts in which Russia has been
involved since Vladimir Putin became prime minister and then
president of Russia, from the First Chechen War to the two military
incursions into Georgia, the annexation of Crimea and the eventual
invasion of Ukraine itself. But it also looks more broadly at
Putin's recreation of Russian military power and its expansion to
include a range of new capabilities, from mercenaries to operatives
in a relentless information war against Western powers.This is an
engrossing strategic overview of a rejuvenated Russian military and
the successes and failures on the battlefield. Thanks to Dr
Galeotti's wide-ranging contacts throughout Russia, it is also
peppered with anecdotes of military life, personal snapshots of
conflicts, and an extraordinary collection of first-hand accounts
from serving and retired Russian officers. Russia continues to
dominate the news cycle throughout the Western world.There is no
better time to understand how and why Putin has involved his armed
forces in a variety of conflicts for over two decades. There is no
author better placed to demystify the capabilities of the Russian
military and give a glimpse into what the future may hold. Putin's
Wars is an engaging and important history of a reawakened Russian
bear and how it currently operates both at home and abroad to
ensure Russia is front and centre on the world stage.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
