What We Won: America’s Secret War in Afghanistan, 1979–89 by Bruce Riedel
Publisher: Brookings Institution Press (July 28, 2014)
In February 1989, the CIA’s chief in Islamabad famously cabled headquarters a simple message: “We Won.” It was an understated coda to the most successful covert intelligence operation in American history.
In What We Won, CIA and National Security Council veteran Bruce Riedel tells the story of America’s secret war in Afghanistan and the defeat of the Soviet 40th Red Army in the war that proved to be the final battle of the cold war. He seeks to answer one simple question —why did this intelligence operation succeed so brilliantly?
