In December 1979, when the Soviet Union entered Afghanistan few believed that the modern, technologically advanced Soviet Army could be resisted by the fledgling mujahideen guerilla movement. Yet, in 1989 the Soviet Army voluntarily withdrew its forces. This unique book describes in detail how the Afghan guerilla fighters waged war against the Soviet Army and is based on the authors' interviews with mujahideen combat veterans. Originally commissioned by the US marine Corps, The Other Side of the Mountain is a companion volume to The Bear Went Over the Mountain, also published in this series by Frank Cass in 1998.

This unabridged quality reprint will provide tremendous insight for historians, journalists and anyone deployed in Afghanistan. Contains accounts of numerous actions fought by the Afghan resistance. Each account is told by the Afghan commander who participated in the action described. These commanders in the vast majority, were civilians who took up arms against the Soviets and developed the skills necessary to command guerrilla units. Most of these accounts are supported by a full page map, that show the topography, the locations of the attackers and defenders, movements, fields of fire etc. In addition is an invaluable guide to anyone wishing to understand modern guerrilla warfare, whether conducting one or fighting against guerrillas in the field. In addition this study provides invaluable insights in how to train and support guerrillas in the field. Each operation is commented on to highlight the elements that caused the operation/action to succeed or fail. In the event of failure what should have been done to have prevented such failure, or in the case of success what could have been done to have improved on that success.
