Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book offers an in-depth analysis of the Soviet Union's military strategies during the invasion of Afghanistan, highlighting the miscalculations made based on past experiences in Eastern Europe. It examines the inadequacies of Soviet tactics against the determined mujahideen fighters in challenging terrain. Compiled by the Frunze Military Academy, it serves as a crucial resource for understanding tactical adaptations necessary for modern warfare, particularly in scenarios involving guerrilla forces and difficult environments. Enhanced maps and a new introduction by historian David M. Glantz enrich this edition.
