"A nation is dying" : Afghanistan under the Soviets, 1979-87
Jeri Laber (Author), Barnett R. Rubin (Author)
"Nearly one million Afghan civilian non-combatants ... have been murdered during the eight years of the Soviet-Afghan conflict ... More than five million refugees ... have fled to neighboring Pakistan and Iran. It is vital for the world to know what has happened. [This book] analyzes these events without political or ideological bias, recording human rights violations on both sides of the conflict, and provides an invaluable framework in which to understand them"--Page 4 of cover
