This book covers the work Pakistan's ISI did supporting the Afghan mujahideen in their battle to expel Russia from their country. I have heard that when this came out CIA personnel bought every copy they could find in order to limit its distribution. I've read a lot of war history over the years, this is one of the absolute best in that genre.
