| Beschreibung: | Maps on lining Includes bibliographical references (pages 203-216) and index The concept of terror -- Culture of violence -- Afghanistan in the Cold War -- Afghanistan under communism -- Toward disintegration -- The second communist coup -- Let battle commence -- The Reagan offensive -- Consequences of the U.S.-Soviet war -- The final days of communism -- The remaking of the post-Soviet world -- The rise of the Taliban -- Dialectics of the Afghan conflict -- The nature of Al-Qaeda -- Conclusion -- Afterword -- Appendices Beginning with the communist Saur Revolution of 1978 and continuing through Gen. David Petraeus's 2010 appointment replacing Stanley McChrystal as commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, this book is an inside account of one of the most vicious conflicts fought between the two Cold War superpowers: the Soviet war in Afghanistan (1979-89). Analyzing the behind-the-scenes decisions made in Moscow, Washington, and Kabul, former BBC correspondent Deepak Tripathi shows how that conflict transformed Afghanistan into a sanctuary for terrorism Explaining how Afghanistan descended into a civil war from which the Taliban emerged, Tripathi explores the ways in which the country ultimately became a grotesque mirror image of the anticommunist alliance of U.S. forces and radical Islamists in the Cold War's final phase. Calling for a departure from the current pursuit of military strong-arm tactics, he advocates an approach that is centered on development, internal reconciliation, and societal reconstruction in Afghanistan. --Book Jacket |

David Petraeus's 2010 appointment replacing Stanley McChrystal as commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, this book is an inside account of one of the most vicious conflicts fought between the two Cold War superpowers: the Soviet war in Afghanistan (1979-89). Analyzing the behind-the-scenes decisions made in Moscow, Washington, and Kabul, former BBC correspondent Deepak Tripathi shows how that conflict transformed Afghanistan into a sanctuary for terrorism Explaining how Afghanistan descended into a civil war from which the Taliban emerged, Tripathi explores the ways in which the country ultimately became a grotesque mirror image of the anticommunist alliance of U.S. forces and radical Islamists in the Cold War's final phase. Calling for a departure from the current pursuit of military strong-arm tactics, he advocates an approach that is centered on development, internal reconciliation, and societal reconstruction in Afghanistan. --Book Jacket Soviet Occupation of Afghanistan / (1979-1989) fast Taliban (DE-588)4512012-2 gnd rswk-swf Since 1900 fast Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte gnd rswk-swf HISTORY / Asia / Central Asia bisacsh HISTORY / Asia / General bisacsh Anti-communist movements fast Communism fast Islam and politics fast Political science fast Terrorism fast Terrorism / Religious aspects / Islam fast Geschichte Kommunismus Politische Wissenschaft Religion Terrorismus Communism Afghanistan History Anti-communist movements Afghanistan History Islam and politics Afghanistan History Terrorism Religious aspects Islam History Terrorism Afghanistan History 20th century Terrorism Afghanistan History 21st century Terrorismus (DE-588)4059534-1 gnd rswk-swf Fundamentalismus (DE-588)4137178-1 gnd rswk-swf Afghanistan-Konflikt 1979-1989 (DE-588)4141580-2 gnd rswk-swf Islam (DE-588)4027743-4 gnd rswk-swf Asien Afghanistan-Konflikt 1979-1989 (DE-588)4141580-2 s Islam (DE-588)4027743-4 s Fundamentalismus (DE-588)4137178-1 s Terrorismus (DE-588)4059534-1 s 1\p DE-604 Taliban (DE-588)4512012-2 b Geschichte z 2\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=388801 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
