How does the Taliban wage war? How has its war changed over time?
Firstly, the movement's extraordinary military operation relies on
financial backing. This volume analyses such funding. The Taliban's
external sources of support include foreign governments and
non-state groups, both of which have affected the Taliban's
military campaigns and internal politics. Secondly, this is the
first full-length study of the Taliban to acknowledge and discuss
in detail the movement's polycentric character. Here not only the
Quetta Shura, but also the Haqqani Network and the Taliban's other
centres of power, are afforded the attention they deserve. The
Taliban at War is based on extensive field research, including
hundreds of interviews with Taliban members at all levels of the
organisation, community elders in Taliban-controlled areas, and
other sources. It covers the Taliban insurgency from its first
manifestations in 2002 up to the end of 2015. The five-month Battle
of Kunduz epitomised the ongoing transition of the Taliban from an
insurgent group to a more conventional military force, intent on
fighting a protracted civil war. In this latest book, renowned
Afghanistan expert Antonio Giustozzi rounds off his twenty years of
studying the Taliban with an authoritative study detailing the
evolution of its formidable military machine.
