Review of 'Red Army.' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

This book takes old ideas about the soviet army, and pretends it's a western army. It gives a lot of character background, which doesn't add anything to the story. As the author writes in the afterword, this book takes a wargaming scenario where the soviet army is exactly like all the propaganda, and nato forces are basically the soviet army, and also do everything possible wrong. There's no world building, no reasons why things happen. I didn't enjoy reading it. Also the kindle version is very badly converted.
