About the book: 2017 / In the 80s of the last century, Afghanistan was a battlefield not only for armed forces, political systems and civilizations, but also for the intelligence services of many countries peace. However, this secret war still remains one of the most closed and dark pages of Russian history - information about the operational work of the KGB in Afghanistan is extremely scarce, fragmentary, and incomplete. The details of the missions are not discussed in the open press; the secrecy label has not yet been removed from many special operations. This publication breaks through the information blockade, filling in most of the “blank spots”. Unknown details of the storming of Amin's palace and the capture of American military advisers, the rescue of Soviet soldiers from Dushman captivity and the hunt for caravans with weapons, the physical elimination of irreconcilable Mujahideen leaders and pitting Dushman gangs against each other. Operational developments and power operations, ultra-complex multi-way reconnaissance games and the combat work of special forces - this exciting book covers the main areas of activity.
