Soviet and Mujahideen Uniforms, Clothing, and Equipment in the Soviet-Afghan War, 1979-1989

Purely for specialists and aficionados, this book is a unique documentation of a time long gone, although freshly relevant due to our recent history.The ironies of this history are implicit on every page: we examine the Soviet war fighter's kit and reflect on its similarities (and differences) to our own soldier's uniforms and equipment… and then remember that Reagan called these men soldiers of the Evil Empire, and the muj he dubbed 'freedom fighters'. What a strange and amazing prelude to our own struggle against Islamic terrorism.

this book is fantastic - kudos to both the author & publisher for having the foresight guts to develop a product for what probably appeared intially to be a pretty tiny niche market. glad ya did it and thank you!!

Very well put together book! Perfect pictures and well documented additional information.

Well done. Great photos and details. As a collector I think a must have

A good reference tool for that era.
