History, politics, spies, what more could you want? oh yeah, a big ol' brutal war complete with Afghan warlords.  

In 1981, the the Soviet army wreaks havoc in Afghanistan as it makes its way toward the critical Pakistani border. CIA operative Jim Warnock is sent to try and halt its ruthless progress.

In Jim's secret war an Afghan leader joins forces with the Pakistani and British intelligence forces while Russian soldiers are shot with Chinese bullets. Though tied together by a common enemy, mutual suspicion and shifting loyalties pervade.
