Overview
Drawing extensively on Soviet writings and on discussions with Soviet scholars, Rajan Menon analyzes Soviet military policy toward the Third World and reaches the surprising and provocative conclusion that Third World intervention is not a goal of paramount importance for the USSR. His work includes an examination of Soviet views -- and actions -- regarding East-West competition, proto-socialist Third World governments, regional wars, military intervention, defense spending, and the actual use of Soviet military power in Angola, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan.Book Details
