Silk Road. Notes of a military intelligence officer: Alexander Kartsev

The profession of a scout is very romanticized by countless “espionage” detectives in films and literature.
In the book proposed, a representative of this workshop talks about a different hypostasis of the intelligence officer – at a hot point, in combat conditions, when the implementation of the main special assignment is combined with the daily everyday work of the intelligence platoon commander.
Of course, brief information about the methods of preparing for the service in intelligence (naturally – without excessive details) is curious, but the main thing in this book is different. The author – an insightful and smart analyst – shows a war in Afghanistan with all its difficulties in the interethnic relations of tribes and a variety of political groups and with an ambiguous attitude to the Russians.
