The Bear Went Over the Mountain: Soviet Combat Tactics in Afghanistan (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780714644134)

This collection of vignettes was written by Soviet junior officers describing their experiences fighting the Mujahideen guerillas. It is not a history of the Soviet-Afghan war, but snapshots of combat as seen by young platoon leaders, company commanders, battalion commanders and military advisers.
