This is not an exhaustive study of th training and conduct of battle by Soviet battalions and regiments in Afghanistan. Rather it is a collection of material which describes and analyzes individual combat episodes. The chapters include destroying guerrilla forces, offensive in populated areas/mountains, tactical air assault, defense and outpost security, convoy escort, and ambushes. Each chapter has several vignettes with commentary by the Frunze Academy and the editor Lt Col Lester Grau (US Army, retired). This can be jargon heavy but there is a glossary and maps/diagrams description in the back. Good for anyone interested in Soviet and present-day coalition operations in Afghanistan
