N2  - Polish translation of "Jihad!". In 1980, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher had taken over the leadership of the West, and the Soviets had invaded Afghanistan, the most crucial battle of the Cold War was about to begin. In the high mountain passes of the northwest frontier and the Hindu Kush, the CIA and Britain¹s MI6 saw an opportunity to bring the mighty Soviet army to its knees. Their weapon: the Islamic guerrillas of the Afghan Mujahideen. The first Western agent to link up with the Mujahideen was Tom Carew, a young SAS soldier with a talent for 'black bag' covert operations. Over a period of a year, Carew led a series of extraordinary reconnaissance missions inside Afghanistan; in the course of these operations, he became as close to the Mujahideen as any European infidel could. Set against the backdrop of the last truly wild and lawless country on earth, Carew¹s edge-of-the-seat narrative sheds new light on the Cold War and the conduct of special operations in the modern era
