Post by: Gusington on July 19, 2012, 06:02:41 PM
What do you guys suggest? I am looking at this right now:

http://www.amazon.com/Great-Gamble-Soviet-War-Afghanistan/dp/0061143197/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1342738758&sr=1-1&keywords=soviet+invasion+of+afghanistan

Thanks all!

I have yet to find a really good book on the Soviet-Afghan War, including The Great Gamble. I would love to hear recommendations from others.

And also don't forget to pick up a DVD of a certain movie shown in the Name this Movie thread.  ;)

The one everyone loves to recommend is The Bear Went Over The Mountain

I stay out of the name-that-movie thread, in the interest of my own sanity.

This one seems a little on the revisionist side:
