"Stone sheds light on Russia's undeservedly obscure military past, rectifying the tendency of Western military historians to neglect the Russian side of things, incorporating operattional and tactical detail that will appeal to the military history enthusiasts, he challenges old assumptions and proves that Russian military history cannot be summed up in a single idea, whether of perennial incompetence, or succes only through stolid, stoic defense."
