Storm-333 is Mark Galeotti's short history of the December 1979 Soviet operation that killed Afghan president Hafizullah Amin and put the KGB and Spetsnaz at the center of the Afghan war. It is a slim, illustrated Osprey-style volume that walks through the planning, the assault on the Tajbeg Palace and the wider political context. Readers who want a focused account of a single operation get clear maps, photographs and first-hand detail; those wanting a full history of the Soviet-Afghan war should look to longer works. Galeotti is a recognized specialist on Russian security services, and the book is generally treated as a reliable, readable briefing rather than a deep academic study.

Reviewers of Galeotti's Osprey titles generally praise the clarity and the use of maps and photographs, and treat him as a knowledgeable guide to Russian special services. The main complaint about this format is its brevity rather than its accuracy.
