Cover Looks Like a Scene From Iraq Today-Timely & Exciting!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
It began with a bungled mission. Fourteen mujahidin had been trained by the British, given a ground-to-air missile launcher, and sent into Afghanistan to shoot down a Russion helicopter. Throughout history, the fierce Afghan tribesmen had repelled all invaders, but when the Russians entered Afghanistan in 1979, they brought along helicopters; helicopters that terrorized the mujahidin Resistance, destroyed their villages and young men...helicopters about which Western intelligence services wanted to know a great deal more. Barney Crispin of the British SAS knew his men were not ready, and now he undertakes his own personal war against Majoy Pyotr Medev's crack squadron of eight Mi-24 gunships in the bleak mountains and rocky valleys of the Hindu Kush, partly out of revenge, partly to bring back the electronic system of an Mi-24 helicopter, but primarily because he has been taught that an assignment is always successfully carried out.
One of Seymour's Best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
A thoroughly enjoyable and intriguing read. With the current situation in Afghanistan, it also provides helpful insights regarding that country. Clearly one of Seymour's best books, and I have enjoyed all nine or ten of his books that I have read. I intend to finish the list, and I hope he keeps on writing.
