What were the politicians thinking when they sent Russian divisions into Afghanistan in 1979? What did the individual soldiers involved think, and how did they react to the situation they found themselves in?

Through many interviews with former Soviet soldiers, politicians and Afghans, the author works toward an understanding of the war that began the destruction of Afghanistan, and led to the rise of the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and a world wide terror movement.

Fascinating book.
