PUTIN'S 'VIPER' DETACHMENT: One Man's Role in a Russian Special Forces Unit and the Invasion of Ukraine

Reveals a high-stakes, covert operation led by a Redut commander amid Ukraine's turmoil and the author's hard-won escape. Details how he led a special forces group in Donetsk and was given three Ukranian special forces officers who had defected to Russia. They were handed a secret mission -- to attack the headquarters in Kyiv of the Ukrainian Counter-Intelligence and Security Service, the SBU, and destroy all its files ahead of Putin's full-scale invasion of the country. Details this secret operation, how the unit had to fight its way out of Ukraine after the attempt on the SBU headquarters failed, and how the author went to International Criminal Court to testify about war crimes. Contains 16 mono illustrations.
