    The way into Kabul in 1979...
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2021*

In 1979, Soviet leaders perceived that they were losing control of the once friendly government of neighboring Afghanistan.  KGB and Spetsnaz troops were alerted for a possibly military operation into Kabul to displace the government of Afghani President Amin.  Operation STORM-333, extensively backed by regular Soviet forces, would plunge the Soviet Union into a bloody ten year war in Afghanistan.  Experienced historian Mark Galeotti has the details in this Osprey Raid series book.STORM-333 played to Soviet strengths but inevitably involved much improvisation.  The narrative walks briskly through the preparation and the execution, including how messy the operation got once the bullets started to fly.  The text includes lots of period and modern photographs, illustrations, and battle diagrams. The author's commentary is blunt and worthwhile.  Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Makes sense out of  a confusing situation.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2021*

This book in the Raid series explains the situation in Afghanistan due to the pro-Soviet regime losing control, the successful coup which removed the regime and replaced it with another (but smarter?) pro-Soviet regime and the war which was supposed to be fought by the government Afghans but instead turned out to require active Soviet engagement. A lot of material about the planning and execution of the operation that I've never seen anywhere else. Well-illustrated.
