Reviews

The Middle East Magazine: "authoritative study of Afghanistan and its troubles...accessible to both general readers and specialists alike." Peter Avery, King's College, Cambridge: "successfully sustains a new approach to Afghan history... excellent and lucid: a much needed account." Sydney Morning Herald: "if you want an insider's interpretation of modern Afghanistan (and one that is remarkably free from one-sided ideology), this is an excellent primer." "fascinating book" 'This is an excellent book. Clear, analytical, easy to read - on occasion positively gripping. Indeed, this reviewer, when reading it on the train, became so engrossed that he missed his station.' Paul Bergne, Asian Affairs, March 2006
