Spetnaz: The Story of the Soviet SAS (1987) By Viktor Suvorov
 
The role, and the success, of the British SAS, is well known throughout the world. Infinitely more shadowy, and far more ruthless, are the 'Spetsnaz' Soviet special forces. Controlled by the GRU (military intelligence), 'Spetsnaz' units are recruited from the ranks of the toughest officers and men in the Soviet Army. As an officer in the GRU, author Suvorov was directly involved in the control and planning of 'Spetsnaz'. He provides the very first comprehensive insight for the West into an 'army within an army' whose existence has until recently been known only to a few highly placed people (most of whom would have denied it).
