Long Goodbye: The Soviet Withdrawal from Afghanistan

Long Goodbye: The Soviet Withdrawal from Afghanistan

Why did the USSR linger so long in Afghanistan? What makes this account of the Soviet-Afghan conflict both timely and important is its focus on the factors that prevented the Soviet leadership from ending a demoralizing and costly war and on the long-term consequences for the Soviet Union and the region.
