Synopsis

A look at how Mikhail Gorbachev’s reforms touched the Soviet military, through a congressional hearing and expert briefings. This work compiles the July 14, 1988 hearing before the House Armed Services Committee’s Defense Policy Panel, featuring leading analysts who discuss changes in doctrine, force structure, and potential shifts in Soviet security policy.

Readers get firsthand perspectives from four noted experts on Soviet military policy and strategy, with discussions that illuminate how reform attempts might influence Europe’s security balance, arms control negotiations, and Western responses. The testimony covers incentives for reform, the idea of a more defensive defense, and how to read military and economic signals during a period of rapid change.

• Insights into how reform might affect Soviet conventional forces and their posture in Central Europe


• Discussion of defensive doctrine concepts and what they could mean in practice


• Examinations of how change in the Soviet military could impact NATO, arms control, and U.S. policy


• Considerations on how to assess genuine reform versus tactical or political maneuvering

Ideal for readers interested in Cold War history, defense policy, and the early years of Gorbachev’s reforms as they intersect with military strategy.
