Cover title.

“December 1986”.

“After 7 years of brutal occupation, the Soviet Union has failed to consolidate its rule over Afghanistan. In 1986, the Soviets were forced to revise drastically their military tactics and replace the ruler they installed in 1979. The resistance grew stronger and retained over whelming support in Afghanistan, among Afghan refugees, and in international forums”—cover page.
