A short Osprey Elite title by Mark Galeotti, a leading academic writer on modern Russia, tracing the Wagner Group and other Russian private military companies from 2013 to 2024. It covers how these outfits were raised, equipped, deployed in Ukraine, Syria and Africa, and folded back into the Russian state after Prigozhin's mutiny. The Elite format packs organization, kit and campaign detail into a slim illustrated volume, so it suits readers who want a structured briefing rather than a narrative history. Compared with longer Wagner books, it is broader on Russian PMCs as a whole but lighter on first-hand reporting.
