It allows for certain comparisons to US tactic to be applied and discourse the comparison to US tactic in Vietnam. One of the stand out revelations what the soviet govt and the US govt wanted to accomplish as an endgame, and how they are almost the same objective.

How both countries have failed to accomplish this. While normally very supportive of U. I don't believe any traditional military can succeed there. This book should be required reading for any politician entertaining the folly of trying to pacify Afghanistan. The Soviets learned way too late, when will we? Thought provoking vignettes of combat actions showed the detailed and somewhat painstaking planning processes conducted by the Soviet Army, yet in many cases, did not yield the anticipated results.

A bit turgid in spots, but otherwise an illuminating window into one of the most seminal, and tragic episodes of Russian history. The Bear Went over the Mountain and The Other Side of the Mountain provide analysis of battles in Afghanistan from the viewpoint of Russian military and then of the Afghan resistance leaders.

The overall results of the two books are two questions: Amazing reviews of Soviet tactics and strategies from the viewpoint of the soldiers on the ground. Book consists of concise after action reports written by soviet soldiers, and commentary from the Frunze academy and the military advisor-translators of the book.

Especially relevant today, this'll learn you good about the nuances of modern warfare and unique challenges the soviets faced in Afghanistan. A very nice review of the Soviet sojourn into Afghanistan.
