Description
The Afghan Syndrome (1982) analyses and interprets the 1979 Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan and also examines its effects on America, China, India, Pakistan and other Islamic nations. It argues that one of the results was the rise of other centres of economic, political and military power outside the superpower spheres.
