The War in Afghanistan (1979-1989) has been called “the Soviet Union’s Vietnam War,” a conflict that pitted Soviet regulars against a relentless, elusive, and ultimately unbeatable Afghan guerrilla force (the mujahideen). In The Soviet-Afghan War the Russian general staff takes a close critical look at the Soviet military’s disappointing performance in that war in an effort to better understand what happened and why and what lessons should be taken from it.
