INSIDE WAGNER: A First-Hand Account of Russia's Mercenary Wars in Syria, Africa and Ukraine

1-254370

Memoir that does not shy away from the brutalities of combat and the brutalities the men of the Wagner Group, but does not classify them as a simple mercenary group. Explains their goal as a 'battalion tactical group' which could be employed to the benefit of Russian interests and influence abroad, and which would win for Prigozhin monetary compensation through the advent of business opportunities in a now 'stable' political climate. Provides a singular viewpoint from a man who views the Wagner Group as a government coordinated military organization that fought and defeated ISIS, brought a form of stability to Central African Republic, and understood when to cut its losses in theaters of operation that may have held promise but would never deliver. Contains 19 color photos and 3 color maps.
