Text of Note

This book, researched from previously secret archives, details the Soviets' military follies, from revolutionary times when Ukraine was added to the new USSR to the final disaster of Afghanistan. In rapid order, the authors tell of Stalin's decision to become a participant in the Spanish Civil War, the overt and stupid aggression against tiny Finland, the immoral pact with Hitler that led to the German/Soviet dismemberment of Poland, the joint North Korean and Soviet attack on South Korea in 1950, her participation in the second and third Vietnam wars, the ignoble adventures in the Middle East and Africa, her arming of Cuba that almost resulted in World War III, the brutal suppression of nationalist reforms in Hungary and Czechoslovakia, and the final blow against the Afghan people in 1979. In addition to these uses of Soviet troops in combat situations, the USSR supplied immense amounts of munitions and military supplies to these countries and many nations elsewhere, like Nicaragua and China. All of this was kept in deepest secrecy from the Soviet people who had to endure poverty and needless deaths and injuries to the sons sent to foreign countries at the whim of the old men of the Kremlin. Alien Wars presents in one volume provocative material previously only speculated about or hinted at by the foreign press as well as the governments of the free world, written by two former insiders. -- Publisher description.
