Description

This book, written by the former official in the various Afghan governments, Abjul Halim Shams, provides the reader with a short history of Afghanistan leading up to the Soviet invasion. Afghanistan, wracked by communist-inspired turmoil, soon found itself occupied by a cruel and ruthless enemy who sought to destroy the culture and religion of the country. Abdul documents the economic measures meant to tie Afghanistan even closer to the USSR, the theft of its natural resources and the use of the KHAD, the Red Afghan secret police. (2021ed, pb, 128pp)
