The Soviet war in Afghanistan was a grueling debacle that has
striking lessons for the 21st century. In "The Great Gamble",
Gregory Feifer examines the conflict from the perspective of the
soldiers on the ground. In gripping detail, he vividly depicts the
invasion of a volatile country that no power has ever successfully
conquered. Parallels between the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and
the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq are impossible to
ignore. Both conflicts were waged amid vague ideological rhetoric
about freedom. Both were roundly condemned by the outside world for
trying to impose their favored forms of government on countries
with very different ways of life. And both seem destined to end on
uncertain terms. The only major book on the subject to date, "The
Great Gamble" tells an unforgettable story full of drama, action,
and political intrigue whose relevance in our own time is greater
than ever.
