Seller's Description:
Good. 228, wraps, footnotes, tables, lower corner of rear cover bent, some soiling to covers. The first in a series of translated writings on Soviet Military Thought. Col. A. A. Sidorenko was a Doctor of Military Science and faculty member of the Frunze Military Academy; this work was originally published in Russian by the Military Publishing House, Moscow, in 1970. In this work, Sidorenko discusses the characteristic features of the offensive in nuclear war. The most important is decisiveness, which is influenced by the political content of a future war. Topics covered include basic trends in the development of the offensive prior to the appearance of nuclear weapons; the nature of the offensive under conditions where nuclear weapons are employed; combat missions and the formations of troops; the employment of nuclear weapons and destruction of the enemy by fire; defeat of a defending enemy and exploitation of success; the pursuit; forcing water barriers; and attack at night.
