reviewed The Collapse of the Soviet Military on February 17, 2012 The Collapse of the Soviet Military
William Odom provides a well thought out analysis of why the Soviet Military dissolved during the end of the Soviet Union and what precipitated the destruction of one of the largest military forces in the world. Odom starts by analyzing Soviet military structure from command and control models to the force divisions and how they were allocated. He includes nuclear related assets and talks about the wholesale corruption occurring in the Soviet Military industrial complex. The main factors cited for this quick fall are the rise of Gorbachev and the attempted 1991 coup which showed a divided military and a diametrically opposed army to the will of the people in Russia. This book is a lucid, concise and well delivered survey of the fall of the Soviet military forces. For those looking for a summary with lots of detail you cannot go wrong here.
