He exhibited an independent nature before a 1995 reorganization of the military caused him to return to civilian life and enter politics. This study is based on both Western news accounts and Russian military journals. In addition to the biographical facts, chapters analyze Lebed's thoughts on foreign relations, security issues, domestic social questions, the proper role of the military, and his likely agenda should he reach elective office.
