Synopsis

Henry S. Bradsher, whose 1983 study of the Afghanistan situation was widely praised, sheds new light on the entire period of Afghan Communism, from its origins in the 1950s to the collapse of the Najibullah regime in 1992. Extensive interviewing, a wide range of source materials, and access to Soviet archives make this a comprehensive account.

Review:

`Bradsher has provided the reader with a solid narrative of political events in Afghanistan dating from the mid-1950s to 1992 ... the majority of new material is derived from a masterly synthesis of new stories translated from Russian language sources ... Bradsher provides the reader with a
clear and concise overview of important events, actors, and topics.'
Douglas A. Borer, History, Winter 2000.
