Afghanistan:soviet Union's Last War

The Soviet Union's last war was played out against the backdrop of dramatic change within the USSR. This is the first book to study the impact of the war on Russian politics and society. Based on extensive use of Soviet official and unofficial sources, as well as work with Afghan veterans, it illustrates the way the war fed into a wide range of other processes, from the rise of grassroots political activism to the retreat from globalism in foreign policy.Galeotti, Mark is the author of 'Afghanistan:soviet Union's Last War' with ISBN 9780714645674 and ISBN 0714645672.
