A comprehensive study of both sides in the Afghan war.

In this compact edition, published in the midst of the conflict as it was happening, David Isby examines Soviet forces in Afghanistan during the war of 1979-1989. The origins and conduct of the war and the operational organisation of Soviet forces are discussed, and Afghan resistance and weaponry is also explored.

Featuring colour plates by Ron Volstad, this detailed examination of the troops that fought on both sides is ideal for those with an interest in modern conflicts.
