Great gamble: The Soviet war in Afghanistan / Feifer, Gregory 2009  Book
Feifer, Gregory Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New York, HarperCollins, 2009.
Description 326pLilac spine
Summary/Abstract The Soviet war in Afghanistan was a gruelling debacle that has striking lessons for the twenty-first century. In The Great Gamble, Gregory Feifer examines the conflict from the perspective of the soldiers on the ground. During the last years of the Cold War, the Soviet Union sent some of its most elite troops to unfamiliar lands in Central Asia to fight a vaguely defined enemy, which eventually defeated their superior numbers with unconventional tactics. Although the Soviet leadership initially saw the invasion as a victory, many Russian soldiers came to view the war as a demoralizing and devastating defeat, the consequences of which had a substantial impact on the Soviet Union and its collapse. Feifer's extensive research includes eye-opening interviews with participants from both sides of the conflict.
