Originally printed in very limited numbers in 1995, this book is a
companion piece to "The Bear Went Over the Mountain: Soviet Combat
Tactics in Afghanistan." This unabridged quality reprint will
provide tremendous insight for historians, journalists and anyone
deployed in Afghanistan. Contains accounts of numerous actions
fought by the Afghan resistance. Each account is told by the Afghan
commander who participated in the action described. These
commanders in the vast majority, were civilians who took up arms
against the Soviets and developed the skills necessary to command
guerrilla units. Most of these accounts are supported by a full
page map, that show the topography, the locations of the attackers
and defenders, movements, fields of fire etc. In addition is an
invaluable guide to anyone wishing to understand modern guerrilla
warfare, whether conducting one or fighting against guerrillas in
the field. In addition this study provides invaluable insights in
how to train and support guerrillas in the field. Each operation is
commented on to highlight the elements that caused the
operation/action to succeed or fail. In the event of failure what
should have been done to have prevented such failure, or in the
case of success what could have been done to have improved on that
success.
