Klappentext zu „Afghan Napoleon “
When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the poorly equipped and organised resistance groups were no competition for the superpower. The exception was Ahmad Shah Massoud. This now-legendary military strategist and resistance leader unified to mujahideen forces in north-eastern Afghanistan and led a series of decisive victories against the Russian army.The veteran journalist Sandy Gall reported from Afghanistan at length, spending weeks at a time with Massoud during key moments in the conflict. He now draws on his own memories, exclusive excerpts from Massoud's diaries, and interviews with the commanders closest allies to provide an intimate portrait of the charismatic guerilla leader.
