Afghan Guerrilla Warfare: In the Words of the Mjuahideen Fighters
By Dr. Ali Ahmad Jalali[edit]
When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, it seemed unlikely that the undertrained and underequipped Mujahideen resistance movement could possibly withstand the competent military strength of the Soviet Army. No one predicted the Soviet Union would withdraw in defeat in 1989. 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.
