Title: The rise and fall of the Soviet Navy in the Baltic 1921-1940
First published: 2004
Description: "This book, based on extensive work in Russian archives, investigates how strategy, organizational rivalry and cultural factors came to shape naval developments in the Soviet Union, up to the German invasion of 1941. Focusing on the Baltic Fleet, the author shows how the perceived balance of power in northern Europe came to have a major influence on Soviet naval policy during the 1920s and 1930s. The book will be essential reading for students of Soviet military and naval history, and students of Soviet history in general."--Jacket.
