Abstract:	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, from mercenaries to information operatives, and how in this rekindled Cold War with the West Putin has increasingly relied on military force to project power abroad. It does not ignore Russian military failings at both tactical and strategic level in all these conflicts, particularly during the invasion of Ukraine, and predicts both possible scenarios for this war and future military relations between Russia and its other neighbours including China. Peppered with anecdotes and first-hand accounts from serving and retired Russian officers, this is an engaging and important history of the reawakened Russian bear.
