This book is the first detailed; illustrated guide to the military uniforms; civilian clothing; and equipment worn and used by Soviet soldiers and Mujahideen warriors in Afghanistan from December 1979 to February 1989. With over 500 images; this book presents front-line soldiers; NCOs; and officers in the main combat branches of the Soviet armed forces as well as Mujahideen warriors; actually ordinary Afghans; who were thrust by fate into the midst of a relentless guerrilla war against one of the largest regular armies in the world. Uniforms presented in this book are assembled in configurations confirmed by wartime photos. All photographs taken for this book are genuine service-issue or private-purchase Soviet and Afghan Mujahideen items.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. The Human Touch for Social Studies LessonsBy Miss B.I used this text as a read aloud with my class as we studied the Oregon Trail. The class was attentive because each of them realized how the writings gave them a glimpse into the lives of actual people. They were no longer just learning about facts; as each reading became like a soap opera behind a major event. I like the way the text offers accounts from different experiences along the trail; most of which shed light on major events that occured at that time.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good readBy L. WolfeI found this book interesting; but a little slow at times. The writing was fine and I usually love the subject matter; but I was not blown away by the content.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
