Two iconic volumes. One exclusive bundle. An unmissable offer for Cold War and military history enthusiasts.

Soviet Infantry Weapons of the Afghan War
The first volume in Safar Publishing’s series delivers the most detailed study ever produced on the infantry weapons fielded by the Soviet Army during the Afghan War of the 1980s.
 
Unlike technical manuals, this book focuses on how weapons were actually used in combat. Drawing on veteran interviews, unit reports, and memoirs, it traces each weapon from issue to battlefield employment, showing what truly mattered to the soldiers who carried them.
 
Covered categories include pistols, sniper rifles, automatic rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, heavy weapons, hand grenades, and bayonets.
 
With 430+ pages and more than 300 high-resolution colour photographs printed on premium paper, Soviet Weapons of the Afghan War is both visually rich and deeply researched. Sidebars with first-hand accounts and field improvisations further immerse the reader in the realities of the conflict.
 
Essential for historians, collectors, and Cold War enthusiasts, this is the definitive reference on Soviet infantry arms in Afghanistan.
 
Soviet Small Arms of the Atomic Age
The second volume in Safar Publishing’s series explores a neglected chapter of Soviet military history: the early Cold War, often called the “Atomic Age.” Between the end of World War II and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Red Army saw no major combat, leaving its weapons and equipment from this era largely undocumented—until now.
 
This book offers a comprehensive survey of nearly every infantry weapon issued after 1945, from wartime holdovers to cutting-edge designs of the Soviet armaments industry. Categories covered include pistols, sniper rifles, automatic rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, and heavy infantry weapons.
 
Featuring hundreds of full-colour photographs printed on premium paper and laid out in a clean, modern design, Soviet Weapons of the Atomic Age is an essential reference for historians, collectors, reenactors, and anyone interested in Soviet arms and the Cold War.
