Opis

Based on five clandestine trips into Afghanistan with the resistance, this book examines why the Soviets invaded in 1979 and what they were seeking to defend. The author analyses their deliberate policy of migratory genocide through a combination of aerial bombardments, political repression and economic blockades.
