How does Russia really think about modern war—beyond hybrid warfare & mirror-imaging? What do Russian sources reveal about future conflict?

See "Russia and the Changing Character of Conflict" by Tracey German https://www.cambriapress.com/RussiaConflict

“Meticulously researched and compellingly argued, Tracey German’s book could not be more timely and relevant given Russia’s war against Ukraine. Examining the roots of the Russian understanding of the changing character of war, and how and why Moscow uses its armed forces, it is essential reading for those seeking to interpret Russia’s military strategy today. Importantly, German analyses how the Russian military incorporates foresight into strategy, offering us tools to reflect on what to expect as we look ahead.” —Andrew Monaghan, Senior Associate Fellow, Royal United Services Institute, and author of "Dealing with the Russians"

"That spectacular cover captured me, and my love of women's writing, fashion, and history drew me like the most pleasing perfume to the book's thesis: "How dress, tied to Victorian gender norms and stereotypes, became key in feminist literary culture. That made intuitive sense, and as I read the author's beautifully written and researched book, I was completely taken by her proposition that the intersection of feminism, writing and fashion had a profound impact on women's lives. The author offers a compelling analysis of the writing, book covers, and fashion style of "New Woman" writers in Britain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily Grant Allen, George Egerton, Sarah Grand, and Olive Schreiner. Each was new to me, yet I found myself captivated by their lives and stories, and of course, their fashion sense!" —Char Jones, Literary Redhead https://www.cambriapress.com/DressFeminismNewWomanWriting/
