内容概要

Now a major motion picture starring Oscar winners Tom Hanks,Julia Roberts, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, and directed by Academy Award-winner Mike Nichols, Cbarlie V/iLwn 5 If/at is the story of a bachelor congressman from Texas, Charlie Wilson (Hanks), whose fun-loving exterior masked an extraordinary political mind and a passion for the underdog. In the early 1980s, the underdogs were the Afghan "freedom fighters," or mujahideen, whose country had been invaded by the Russians. Encouraged by his longtlme friend, patron, and sometime lover, Joanne Herring (Roberts), Wilson partnered with CIA agent Gust Avrakotos (Hoffman) in an outrageous scheme tofunnel billions of dollars of aid to the mujahideen, making it possible for the Afghans to defeat the Soviet forces. A compelling account of the last battle of the Cold War, this incredible tale is the key to understanding two of the most important events of our time--the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of militant Islam.
