Description

This book is an account of Sandy Gall's last trip to Afghanistan in 1986 to report the war.

It tells of his journey, with all its hardships and dangers, as well as explaining the background to the war including some dramatic pictures of the fighting.

Sandy Gall chose to revisit the man he regards as the outstanding commander in Afghanistan, Ahmed Shah Masud, who is trying to organize resistance to the Russians on a regional and eventually national scale.

The author views the war as Russia's Vietnam and believes it merits much wider attention.

He believes it has been largely neglected because of the difficulties of the terrain and the length of time it takes to get to the remoter areas.

For his work in Afghanistan, Sandy Gall - a Reuter correspondent for ten years and ITN "trouble shooter" since 1963 - was awarded the Lawrence of Arabia Memorial Medal in 1987.
