"Presented in this book are the after-action reports of Mujahideen commanders during the Afghan-Soviet conflict. This is rich in tactical detail, but lacks strategic and operational depth. I'd recommend this book to anyone going to Afghanistan - though for anyone with a casual interest only will find this surprisingly dry reading."
