Afghan Guerrilla Warfare: In the Words of the Mujahideen Fighters

When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, few experts believed the fledgling Mujahideen resistance movement had a chance of withstanding the modern, mechanized onslaught of the Soviet Army. But somehow, the Mujahideen prevailed against a larger and decisively better equipped foe. No one predicted the Soviet Union would withdraw in defeat in 1989. How did the Mujahideen do it? Afghan Guerrilla Warfare: In the Words of the Mujahideen Fighters explores this question and more. With more than 100 first-hand reports from Mujahideen combat veterans and maps illustrating locations and disposition of forces, this book is a tactical look at a decentralized army of foot-mobile guerrillas as they wage war against a superior force. Experience Mujahideen ambushes, raids, shelling attacks, fights against heliborne insertions, attacks Soviet strong points, and urban combat in this rare look at the Soviet-Afghan conflict. more
