Product Information
The Soviet withdrawal from Afganistan has been largely attributed to the bravery of the Afghan resistance reinforced by American weaponry and support. This book shows how it was infact years of persistent United Nations initiatives that proved crucial to the conclusion of the Geneva accords, and that the ideological hard line of the Reagan administration prolonged the conflict.Diego Cordovez, the United Nations mediator for the Afghanistan conflict, and prominent foreign policy analyst Selig Harrison have written the definitive account of the negotiations that helped end the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, the last great clash of the cold war.

"The Harrison-Cordovez book represents a major contribution to our understanding of a crucial moment in the Cold War--the Soviet intervention and defeat in Afghanistan."--President Jimmy Carter, "A year before the Soviet occupation, Selig Harrison became the first to warn that an invasion of Afghanistan was possible. Then in the early 1980s, he was the first to report that Diego Cordovez of the United Nations was making unexpected progress in persuading the Soviets to leaveAfghanistan. Now they have joined together to write an absorbing account of that remarkable United Nations success. Their book will remain for years to come the authoritative source on a critical development in the history of the Cold War."--Charles William Maynes, Editor, Foreign Policy, "The detailed account by Cordovez and harrison, both veteran participants in behind the scenes discussions of the war...details the factionalism in Moscow--and in Washington, between the 'bleeders' and the 'dealers' in the Reagan administration."--The New Republic"Contrary to conventional wisdom propagated by the Western media...Cordovez and Harrison tell us that the Red Army was on the ground in Afghanistan when the Soviet Union agreed to withdraw. After endless blunders on both the Soviet and American sides, and after six years of excruciatingly ticklish diplomacy (authoritatively described here), negotiators found a way to secure a settlement. Cordovez's personal role in the dealings lends the book an inside perspective."--The Washington Post Book World"This is probably the most comprehensive volume written about the events which might be considered a landmark in contemporary history."--International Relations^"The Harrison-Cordovez book represents a major contribution to our understanding of a crucial moment in the Cold War--the Soviet intervention and defeat in Afghanistan."--President Jimmy Carter"This is a fascinating and important book, and for once a book that lives up to its title. With Diego Cordovez's key personal role, and Selig Harrison's background experience and research, this is "the inside story" of the intricate, multifaceted diplomatic drama behind the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, and it presents a well-grounded account of the Soviet decisions to intervene and later to pull out as well."--Raymond L. Garthoff, Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution and author of The Great Transition: American Soviet Relations and the End of the Cold War, "The UN role in bringing about the withdrawal of Soviet forces from Afghanistan is one of momentous historical importance. Out of Afghanistan will undoubtedly rank as the definitive account of the negotiations leading up to the Geneva Accords and of the political struggles over the withdrawalin Moscow, Washington, Kabul, and Islamabad. Diego Cordovez and Selig Harrison have given us a vivid narrative, filled with significant new disclosures, that will be of profound interest to all students of foreign affairs and contemporary history. This is an outstanding contribution to the emergingdebate over how and why the cold war ended."--Cyrus Vance, former Secretary of State, "The detailed account by Cordovez and harrison, both veteran participants in behind the scenes discussions of the war...details the factionalism in Moscow--and in Washington, between the 'bleeders' and the 'dealers' in the Reagan administration."-- The New Republic "Contrary to conventional wisdom propagated by the Western media...Cordovez and Harrison tell us that the Red Army was on the ground in Afghanistan when the Soviet Union agreed to withdraw. After endless blunders on both the Soviet and American sides, and after six years of excruciatingly ticklish diplomacy (authoritatively described here), negotiators found a way to secure a settlement.

Garthoff, Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution and author of The Great Transition: American Soviet Relations and the End of the Cold War, "Diego Cordovez is one of the most astute and imaginative diplomats it has been my good fortune to know in some 30 years in the State Department. He applied all his many talents to seeking an end to the Afghan bloodletting; he did so with energy, perseverance, and verve. It was a pleasure towork with him in the search for peace, just as it has been a pleasure to read this absorbing account of his part in that search."--Lawrence S. Eagleburger, former Secretary of State, "This is probably the most comprehensive volume written about the events which might be considered a landmark in contemporary history."--International Relations, "The detailed account by Cordovez and harrison, both veteran participants in behind the scenes discussions of the war...details the factionalism in Moscow--and in Washington, between the 'bleeders' and the 'dealers' in the Reagan administration."--The New Republic, "This is a fascinating and important book, and for once a book that lives up to its title.

Garthoff, Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution and author of The Great Transition: American Soviet Relations and the End of the Cold War, "This is the most authoritative, complete, and exciting account of the Soviet Union's blundering entry into war in Afghanistan and the decision-making and diplomacy that finally brought Soviet troops out, with a wealth of new information and much deeper insight than we had before into whatreally happened."--Don Oberdorfer, former Diplomatic Correspondent, The Washington Post, "The detailed account by Cordovez and harrison, both veteran participants in behind the scenes discussions of the war...details the factionalism in Moscow--and in Washington, between the 'bleeders' and the 'dealers' in the Reagan administration."--The New Republic "Contrary to conventional wisdom propagated by the Western media...Cordovez and Harrison tell us that the Red Army was on the ground in Afghanistan when the Soviet Union agreed to withdraw.
