Never before has any journalist in the world survived there for so many years. Thirteen! For thirteen years, Andrei Greshnov, an international journalist, head of the RIA Novosti representative office in Kabul, worked in Afghanistan. Before his eyes, the war-torn country was covered in blood several times. He saw Kabul stormed by the Taliban. He also interviewed the most brutal leaders of the mujahideen. He filmed American soldiers who boorishly ruled in villages and villages. He told about all this in his book. About what happened in Afghanistan after the Soviet troops left there. About what the country turned into AFTER US... US Army Sergeant Kelvin Gibbs admitted in court that he, Jeremy Morlock and several other soldiers staged a terrible massacre among the civilian population of Kandahar province for the sake of "sports interest." Brave warriors cut off their fingers and knocked out the teeth of dead Afghans, dismembered and photographed corpses. The bones of those killed were kept by the Americans as souvenirs. They called themselves the "Killer Squad," without even trying to veil their actions or explain them by some insurmountable circumstances. There, near Kandahar, something happened to the American soldiers, they instantly turned into brutal sadists. Or maybe it happened earlier?
