Summary: Useful in a practical sense
Comment: Before deploying to Afghanistan last year with a Special Forces battalion, I read this book (along with "Afghanstan's Endless War" - Goodson, "The Hidden War" - Borovik, and "The Soviet-Afghan War" - Grau & Gress, eds.) to prepare for battle. While a rough read that could stand better organization, it had very accurate, pertinent information that was useful for a warrior. I personnal went to about ten of the battle locations (some of them were hard to avoid) and was able to follow the battle on the ground by the descriptions in the book. Additionally, on the road to Gardez, was able to discuss some of the battles with locals, who concurred with details. Valuable to me.

Summary: Informative Guerrilla Tactics
Comment: I have a certain curiousity for Military Science and this was a great book that related to Guerrilla Warfare. There are a total of 15 Chapters, 14 of them with many different real life vignettes (around 92). As well many interviews with real life mujahideen fighters who were there. Anybody who posesses a distinct interest in Military Science or Guerrilla Warfare will certainly enjoy this book!

Summary: Not original. Free on the internet. Not very useful.
Comment: I had already downloaded "The Other Side of the Mountain" and read it. Nowhere on this site is it mentioned that this book is simply a reprinting of that "FREE" work. It was not even spell checked or edited. Do a search and download the original. If you THEN want a printed copy, order this one. The only thing new and improved is the very nice cover.
The book is basically about 94 very short and dry retellings of small battles between the two adversaries. Not much is useful or educational. Not even entertaining. I was looking for education and enterntainment.
There is another FREE companion piece called "The Bear Went Over The Mountain". Do a web search on each and download.
-Copernic.com is the best web searcher I've found.
