Revolutionary Afghanistan : A Reappraisal, Paperback / softback Book

Revolutionary Afghanistan : A Reappraisal Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Revolution series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book, first published in 1982, examines the reality of the so-called revolution in Afghanistan.

It focuses on the career of Hafizullah Amin, considered in the West as a near-genocidal mass murderer, intent on establishing a personal fiefdom in Afghanistan.

However, this book argues that he was a man struggling against impossible odds to preserve his country’s independence and at the same time drag it into the twentieth century.

He commanded such loyalty and support within the Afghanistan Communist Party and the armed forces that the Russians had to invade to get rid of him.
