Red Army

About the Author

Ralph Peters is a veteran U.S. Army intelligence officer, with extensive tactical experience in Europe. A Soviet analyst and linguist, he has published widely on military affairs, and his work has been translated into various foreign languages. An earlier novel, Bravo Romeo, appeared in 1981.

“RED ARMY is about the men behind the Soviet guns,” he writes. “My fundamental goal was to bring those men to life, in their rich human variety… to see how they might respond in the context of modern battle.”
