David Glantz examines the Soviet study of war, the re-emergence of the operation level and its connection with deep battle, the evolution of the Soviet theory of operations in depth before 1941, and its refinement and application in the European theatre and the Far East between 1941 and 1945.
V K Triandafillov was an outstanding young commander who shaped the military theory and doctrine of the Red Army as it came to grips with the problem of future war. A conscript soldier who rose through the ranks to become an officer in the Tsarist Army, he saw combat in both the First World War and the Russian Civil War. A student of some of the finest military specialists teaching the first generation of young Red commanders, he sought to link theory and practice by using past experience to comprehend future combat.
This book offers a scientific interpretation of the field of military knowledge situated between strategy and tactics, better known as operational art', and traces the evolution of operational awareness and its culmination in a full-fledged theory. The author, a Brigadier General (ret.) in the Israeli Defence Forces and Doctor of History, King's College, London, clarifies the substance of operational art' and constructs a cognitive framework for its critical analysis. He chronicles the stages in the evolution of operational theory from the emergence of 19th-century military thought to Blitzkrieg. For the first time the Soviet theories of Deep Operations' and Strike Manoeuvre' that emerged in the 1920s and 1930 are discussed. The author argues that it is these doctrines that eventually led to the crystallization of the American Airland Battle theory, successfully implemented in the Gulf War.
Beginning in the interwar period between World War I and World War II the Soviet Union endured massive social, military, and political changes. G.S. Isserson and Mikhail Tukhachevsky innovated Soviet doctrine to encompass all the advances in military technology such as the tank, the airplane, and an improved military-industrial complex.

Moving into the twenty-first century, Russia is taking advantage of the "Gray Zone" of competition in the Baltics and Black Sea regions, extending Russi...
The Soviet military concept of operational art and the associated theories such as "war of annihilations", "deep battle", and "deep operations" have been observed by the West since World War II. The Soviet government hid their military-theoretical work behind a veil of secrecy. Here, the Soviet theories are revealed in the words of those who created them in peacetime and applied them in war.
The United States Military has been conducting joint, operational-level deep operations for over a century. This is the point where U.S. Armed Services have found a common ground to focus their joint efforts. The American Civil War established a baseline for operational art in modern warfare. It also provided a basis for the study of operational-level deep operations. It is unclear whether the future battlefield will require a similar concept of deep operations. Joint Vision 2010 states that it does not. In this monograph, the author explores the idea that deep operations are an integral part of operational art and will play a critical part in future joint military operations. The monograph ...
