Not Gonna Help.

For a very substantial reason. 

The US Department of Defense has put out an order for several books by Western researchers on Russian and Chinese military strategies. The materials are meant for US Air Force personnel stationed at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama, which is home to the Air Force Historical Research Agency and Air University.  The order, which was made in mid-May on the government’s e-procurement system, is for the following books: ‘Strategiya: The Foundations of the Russian Art of Strategy’ by Ofer Fridman, a lecturer at King’s College London; ‘Russian Grand Strategy in the Era of Global Power Competition’ by Andrew Monaghan; and ‘Putin’s War on Ukraine: Russia’s Campaign for Global Counter-Revolution’ by Samuel Ramani. Also on the list is ‘The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China,’ accompanied by two more books on the combat application of artificial intelligence and space warfare.  The Pentagon expects to purchase 600 copies of each book by mid-June.   

The reasons being: 

1. There are currently NO serious Russia scholar in the West, with remarkable exception of people like Colonel Jacques Baud or Lester Grau. NONE, period. Russia's XX century history is a combination of horror fantasy novels and lies from dissident community and white immigration. How about learning about Soviet realities from REAL historians.

2. For any Western "strategist" writing on Russia the "research" should start from discarding fantasies and fairy tales about West's role in WW II and appropriate use of war correlates and statistics from authoritative sources--not from former Wehrmacht losers who supplied Anglo historiography with pseudo math and copious amount of BS. 

3. Studying "strategy" without serious operational background and apparatus (tool kit) which goes into it--is a waste of time. Without serious grasp of math and physical principles on which modern battlefield and technology operate this whole "study" is a waste of time and will produce no positive outcomes with the exception of what Western "strategists" (most of them with humanities degrees) usually do--quoting Clausewitz, Sun Dzu, Jomini et al. This is a fool's errand. 

4. In the end, they either accept the fact that the US is primarily a naval power and is not even in the same league with Russia in continental warfare, or they should simply cancel this order and stick to what they know best--confabulation of warfare. 

These four points describe in general why reading Western "researches" not gonna help.
