In the high mountain passes of the north-west frontier and the Hindu Kush, the CIA and its western allies saw an opportunity to bring the Soviet army to its knees--their weapon, the Islamic guerillas of the Afghan Mujahideen. Carew's account covers in some detail the combat action against the Soviet Spetsnaz and Afghan mercenaries; reconnaissance missions leadnig to the first West sponsored training camp for Mujahideen in Pakistan; and Carew's attempt to hijack an aircraft during a covert arms-buying mission.
