A short but interesting read. Perhaps most insightful is how the Kursk crisis highlighted the shortcomings of the former Soviet Union in 2000 and how the new Russian leader, Putin, was forcefully made aware of just how much things had changed and how he was going to have to take corrective measures.

Veľmi pútavé čítanie. Kniha je veľmi detailná, páčilo sa mi ako autof narába s citáciami a zdrojmi, ktoré je v tejto krajine také ťažké zohnať. Miestami sa ale opakoval a možno by sa časť knihy dala zjednodušiť a skrátiť. Inak super
