An account of the Russian occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, the Afghan resistance and the plight of the refugees.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Like Arthur Bonner ( Among the Afghans , LJ 11/1/87) and Jan Goodwin ( Caught in the Crossfire , LJ 3/15/87), Lessing joins the ranks of writers speaking out on behalf of the Afghans. This book of four essays evolved from a visit of Lessing and others who traveled to Pakistan on behalf of the agency, Afghan Relief. Two themes emerge: the relationship between Afghan refugees and Pakistanis, and the quest to find a female commander among the freedom fighters. Well written and an aid in drawing attention to the Afghans' plight; current events collections may want this. Donald Clay Johnson, Univ. of Minnesota Libs., Minneapolis
