I remember sitting in the Watch Center at the State Department in December 1979 as our embassy in Kabul reported the arrival and initial actions of Soviet invasion forces in Afghanistan. Very early on it was clear by the steps they were taking to control key Afghan institutions that it was in effect a coup d’etat.
