A comprehensive study of both sides in the Afghan war.
In this compact edition, published in the midst of the conflict as it was happening, David Isby examines Soviet forces in Afghanistan during the war of 1979-1989. The origins and conduct of the war and the operational organisation of Soviet forces are discussed, and Afghan resistance and weaponry is also explored.
Featuring colour plates by Ron Volstad, this detailed examination of the troops that fought on both sides is ideal for those with an interest in modern conflicts.
David C Isby is an experienced author, having written or edited numerous books and over 350 articles in journals such as Jane’s Intelligence Review and Air Force Monthly. He is also an experienced pilot (and son of a USAAF C-47 navigator).
Ronald B. Volstad was born in 1949 in Alberta, Canada, where he still lives and works. His first illustrations were published in 1970; since then he has become widely known for his work in Squadron and Osprey publications and for Dragon Models, and has also worked as a courtroom artist for TV news.
