Volume II: Afghanistan: Lessons from the Last War
In
Volume
II, Archive experts John Prados and Svetlana
Savranskaya draw on declassified records and the memoirs of former
Soviet officials to examine Soviet policymaking, military operations,
and lessons learned from the last war in Afghanistan, a bloody,
ten-year conflict that pitted Soviet military forces against CIA-backed
Afghan rebels. The collection also includes excerpts from
an essay written by analyst Steve Galster as an introduction to
the Archive's microfiche collection, Afghanistan:
The Making of U.S. Policy, 1973-1990,
published in 1990.
