Afghanistan Under Soviet Domination 1964-91 by Anthony Hyman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The book offers a clear, authoritative and readable guide to the modern history of Afghanistan. This remote land made up of many tribes and ethnic peoples on the borders of Central Asia became a focus of Superpower rivalry and international intrigue after the Soviet invasion in 1979. This book shows how Afghanistan's traditional society has been profoundly shaken up in a cruelly destructive war, causing the world's biggest refugee problem and a chronic instability which threatens the wider region. | Afghanistan Under Soviet Domination 1964-91 by Anthony Hyman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
