Description

Peter Harclerode (au). From CIA operations against the Soviets in the Ukraine, Poland & the Baltic States to the war in Afghanistan & its deadly legacy, Harclerode investigates the use of secret armies. The war in Afghanistan was not the first time that western governments have resorted to covert operations. Some have achieved great success: the campaigns in Malaya & Oman defeated communist guerrilla movements. This book also includes comprehensive accounts of operations in Albania, Indochina, Malaya, Korea, Algeria, Borneo, Tibet, Vietnam, Cambodia & Laos. Also explains how the 1979-89 war in Afghanistan has left us with a Frankenstein’s Monster: highly motivated international terrorists trained & equipped with the latest western weaponry. Illus.
