Inside the Soviet Military (1991) By Carey Schofield
 
Given unprecedented access by the Soviet top brass to military facilities and personnel, the author spent two years traveling from Leningrad in the west to Vladivostok in the east, from the Arctic Circle in the far north to the deserts of Central Asia in the south. This book is an exercise in glasnost and a "landmark in East-West relations." All aspects of military life are covered, from the organ. of the forces to the morale of the officer corps, from the daily life of the ordinary conscript to the special operations of the elite paratroopers and Spetsnaz. Looks at issues of conscription, training, career progression, and the legacy of Afghanistan.
