Intended as a basic working reference, the Handbook assembles a peculiar combination of topics: political ideology, military-party relations, doctrine, military theory, Soviet and NATO forces, psychology, disciplinary regulations, etiquette, and hygiene. Both the selection of information and the commanding tone tell a great deal about the Soviet military.
