From Library Journal
When the Soviets invade Afghanistan, they have not fully reckoned with tribal guerrillas whose leaders spring from a powerful military tradition. One of the most able chiefs is Kara Kush, the Eagle. His Whirlwind Battle-Group, fortified in caves in the mountains, attracts peasants, cooks, and even Russian deserters, and soon they are pursuing plans to destroy Soviet strongholds, seize weaponry, and punish the hated occupiers. When a fabulous treasure, the ancient Hoard of Ahmad Shah, is discovered, both sides intend to have the billions of gold coins. This novel by Afghan writer and educator Idries Shah is as big as his subject. The author brings to this adventurous tale of war his profound knowledge of Islamic legend and history. What's more, the factual framework is realistic, notably in the political circumstances and the technical details of war. Highly recommended. Barbara Conaty, Medical Coll. of Wisconsin, Milwaukee
