Viktor Suvorov published seven non-fiction books between 1981 and 2000, all drawing on his career as a Soviet GRU officer. The Liberators (1981) and Inside the Soviet Army (1982) describe the reality of life in the Soviet military. Inside Soviet Military Intelligence (1984) and Inside the Aquarium (1985) turn to the intelligence services, with the latter based on Suvorov’s own training and career.
Spetsnaz (1988) covers Soviet special forces operations and doctrine. His later books, Ice-Breaker (1990) and The Chief Culprit (2000), advance the controversial argument that Stalin was planning an offensive war against Germany when Hitler struck first in 1941.
