The story of a bachelor congressman from Texas, Charlie Wilson whose fun loving exterior masked an extraordinary political mind and a passion for the underdog. In the early 1980's , the underdogs were the Afghan "freedom fighters" or mujahideen, whose country had been invaded by the Russians. Encouraged by his longtime friend, patron and sometimes lover, Joanne Herring, Wilson partnered with CIA agent Gust Avrakotos in an outrageous scheme to funnel billions of dollars of aid to the mujahideen, making it possible for the Afghans to defeat the Soviet forces.
