  • Title: Afghanistan: The Making of U.S. Policy, 1973-1990 (Digital National Security Archive)
    Author: ProQuest UMI
    Format: Online
    Location: Network WWW
    Call No./URL/Item No.: http://nsarchive.chadwyck.com/afintro.htm
    Subject: Military & Intelligence
    GeographicArea: Africa & the Middle East
    TimePeriod: Multiple Time Periods
    Description: "The Afghanistan collection is unique for several reasons. It provides an index and catalog--accompanied by an extensive chronology and set of glossaries--to a paper record of one of the most significant proxy wars of the Cold War. Even more important, these documents are contemporary (many are only two to three years old at the time of publication), broad-ranging and, in many instances, virtually never before seen by either scholars or the news media. Scholars of U.S. national security policy, U.S.-Soviet relations, U.S.-Pakistan relations, Soviet foreign and military policy, South Asian studies and Islam will find here a wealth of material relevant to their research that would normally have remained classified for 20-50 more years."
