“An epic of guerrilla warfare and golden treasure”—cover page.

“In the depths of an Afghan winter, the Russians descend upon Central Asia, terrorising the patchwork of peoples whose land extends from China to Iran. Rallied by Adam Durany, the man known as Kara Kush the eagle-the ill-equipped patriots fight back and win one battle after another against the slow-moving Russian bear. And they deny the enemy the golden Hoard of Ahmed Shah, the greatest treasure the world has ever seen…”—back cover.
