Memory is a funny thing.... I have owned this book for over 25 years and haven't seen it for at least 10.... Great capture.....

I read this when it first came out and I finally tracked down another copy. It hasn't lost any of it's touch on a largely unknown conflict, far away from the western press. A absorbing read with several sections of photographs the author took.
