In 1980, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher had taken over the leadership of the West and the Soviets had invaded Afghanistan. In the high mountain passes of the north-west frontier and the Hindu Kush, the CIA and its western allies saw an opportunity to bring the Soviet army to its knees--their weapon, the Islamic guerillas of the Afghan Mujahideen. Carew's account covers in some detail the combat action against the Soviet Spetsnaz and Afghan mercenaries; reconnaissance missions leadnig to the first West sponsored training camp for Mujahideen in Pakistan; and Carew's attempt to hijack an aircraft during a covert arms-buying mission. Sheds unprecedented light on cold war and the conduct of special operations in the modern era. 9.5x 6.25 inches. 288 pages. 2001, Mainstream Publishing.
