Fascinating story of the support provided for the mujahideen during Afghanistan's Soviet years. Completely puts paid to the lies about how the U.S. trained Osama bin Laden or did anything more than provide war materiel to a people struggling for freedom.

Politics, spies, battles and a Congressman who really shouldn't have existed outside of a novel; this book has it all. And clarifies a critical part of recent history.

Great book. This is the stuff of Hollywood fiction, and when I read it, I had to keep going back to the forward to confirm that this was actually a work of non-fiction. It's an entertaining read about one of the world's true "characters," a person who was able to do some unbelievable things with little more than audacity and personality. I haven't gone to see the movie, because it's just too outlandish a tale to reduce to 2 1/2 hours.
