This is a panoramic view of Russia’s advent as an empire during the last four centuries cuilminatinf in its occupation of Afghanistan. The book depicts the raw fore which Russia used to bring non-Russian territories under its control; it also uncovers the identity between the purposes and methods of Czarist and the Soviet Union. The retreat of the West, the perceptional inadequacy of its leaders, the tumult in the world caused by super powers’ rivalry, and man’s agonizing incapacitation to prevent a global conflagration have been juxtaposed to delineate the future shape of things as an inevitable consequence to Afghanistan’s occupation by Russia. This book is not merely a record of events it is also a study of culture of power – its tendency to radiate outwards and expand. It also seeks to present an account of the determined resistance which the Afghan national is putting to block the expansion generated by the power culture. £25
