In the last decade, two events have transformed the world: the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of militant Islam. This is the first book to explain the link between these two occurrences. It is also the story of the CIA's largest and most successful ever operation: the arming of the Afghan resistance to Soviet occupation.
