Description

Explore the profound impact of the Soviet-Afghan War through this detailed historical study from Routledge. This book provides a unique look at how the conflict unfolded during a period of massive change within the USSR. It is the first work to specifically examine how this war influenced Russian politics and society. By using a wide range of Soviet official and unofficial sources, along with direct work involving Afghan veterans, the text connects the war to major historical shifts. Readers will learn how the conflict contributed to the rise of grassroots political activism and the eventual retreat from globalism in foreign policy. This is an essential resource for anyone interested in European history and the complex political transformations of the late 20th century.
