Journal Article
The 1978 Revolution in Afghanistan
2019
Overview
[...]it was clear and beautiful and our peace was disturbed only occasionally by the tat-tat-tat of nearby automatic weapons. Six fighter planes plus a few tanks and several hundred soldiers had overthrown the government of Afghanistan. A house full of Peace Corps Volunteers was flattened by a bomb, but nobody was seriously injured; a German friend had a rocket rip through a wall in his house, barely miss him, and exit another wall without exploding; an Afghan friend was hit in his arm by a bullet. The new communist rulers stupidly changed the colors of the flag from Islamic green to communist red. [...]their clumsy efforts to effect revolutionary change in the conservative and traditional society incited a full-scale rebellion.
