Features: When reviewing this war, the author does not adopt a general theoretical analysis approach to explain the reasons for the military intervention. Instead, he narrates the events in chronological order, step by step, while citing a large number of historical archives to authentically present the historical background of the Soviet Union's intervention in Afghanistan. This provides a relatively objective reflection of some internal secrets of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union at the time, the actual situation after the Soviet army occupied Afghanistan, as well as the consequences of the intervention for Afghanistan and the Soviet Union. The book presents objective viewpoints, is well-supported by evidence, and has a high degree of historical credibility. Target Audience: Teaching and research personnel in related disciplines such as international politics, international relations, military, and history, as well as libraries.
