New Yorker staff writer Jon Lee Anderson arrived in Afghanistan to
report for the magazine ten days before U.S. bombers began pounding
Al Qaeda and Taliban forces. His dispatches provide an
unprecedented and riveting on-the-ground account of the Afghan
conflict, and his e-mails to the magazine -- selections of which
frame the pieces here -- paint a vivid behind-the-scenes portrait
of war journalism. From the battle for the Taliban bastion of
Kunduz and the interim government's clumsy takeover of Kabul, to
the search for Osama bin Laden in the Tora Bora caves and the truth
of Al Qaeda's assassination of charismatic Northern Alliance leader
Ahmad Shah Massoud -- two days before September 11, 2001 --
Anderson offers an unprecedented look into the forces that shape
the conflict and the players who may threaten Afghanistan's future.
In the distinguished tradition of New Yorker war reporting, The
Lion's Grave illuminates a region to which we will be inextricably
bound for some time to come.
