In his new book Spetsnaz - A History of the Soviet and Russian Special Forces he looks at the history of the Soviet and Russian special forces - from their creation to the present day. The conversation with Henning Frantzen will shed light on three main themes: the thinking behind the use of special forces, how the forces are built up, and how they are used in combat.
