This book delves into the history of Afghanistan, its people, and
its relationship with neighbors, to unravel the intricate politics
and ethnolinguistic diversity of the country. It discusses the
history of innumerable invasions which left imprints over the
country and its people and created a complex fabric of different
ethnic, linguistic, religious and cultural groups. The volume looks
at the various empires which warred over the land including the
Persian, Greek, Mongol, and Sassanid dynasties, as well as the
later interferences by the British and the Russians and the
emergence of the Taliban. It examines the correlations between war,
power politics, religion, local governance, and the opium trade and
economy in Afghanistan. The author through personal stories and
anecdotes of his visits and journeys in Afghanistan provides a very
rich and extensive view of Afghan politics, culture and history.
The relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan and Afghanistan's
unique position in the politics of the region is also a thread
which runs through the entire book. This book will a great resource
(and of interest) to researchers and students of politics, history,
Central and South Asian Studies, war and international relations,
political economy, and peace and reconciliation studies. It will
also interest journalists, diplomats and international development
organizations.
