This reference analyzes and chronicles the Soviet occupation of
and withdrawal from Afghanistan in the period from 1973 to 1990 by
an observer in the area who relied on a variety of sources and
cross-checked them carefully. The analysis of events leading to the
Soviet withdrawal covers the important negotiations and relates
them to the historic changes that were taking place in the Soviet
Union and in its relationships to the rest of the world. This
analysis and chronology is indispensable to students and
researchers assessing the final years of the Soviet Union, events
in Afghanistan, and current problems.
A brief introduction precedes a discussion of the international
implications of Soviet policy in Afghanistan, a description of the
negotiations following years of crisis from 1973 to 1986, an
analysis of the Soviet decision to withdraw, and the final years
from 1988 to 1990. The chronology covering the Soviet intervention
and withdrawal is detailed and occupies the main portion of this
reference. An index makes important detail easily accessible to
students and researchers in history, political science, military
studies, and Soviet and Asian affairs.
