It looks at the Russian experience with airmobile forces from their beginnings in the 1920s and 1930s to today's Russian mobile force. The origins of the Russian shock troops. It provides an exciting description of the harrowing Russian airborne assaults of World War II and the combat uses of the troops in the cold war years as an important new role as imperial storm troopers. The infantry that enforced Soviet power.
