Overview
In the summer of 1982, Sandy Gall set off for Afghanistan on what turned out to be the hardest assignment of his life. During his career as a reporter he had covered plenty of wars and revolutions before, but he had never been required to walk all the way to an assignment and all the way back, dodging Russian bombs en route. But this was precisely what happened as he and a television crew walked from Pakistan to the Panjsher Valley--a journey that took two weeks. Their goal was the stronghold of the Resistance leader Masud who, although only twenty-eight years old, was the best known and most effective of the Afghan guerrillas.Book Details
