«La guerra de Charlie Wilson» is the historical chronicle by George Crile, published by Almuzara in paperback (656 pages, in Spanish).
Crile reconstructs how an eccentric Texas congressman and a CIA agent orchestrated the largest covert operation in US history: supplying the mujahideen guerrillas during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The investigation connects that secret war with the collapse of the USSR and the rise of Islamist terrorism that led to 9/11.
It belongs to Almuzara's «Crónicas y Memorias» collection; the original «Charlie Wilson's War» appeared in 2003 and the book was adapted into a movie by Tom Hanks's production company.
Suitable for adult readers interested in contemporary history, US foreign policy and espionage.
