Author and translator Marcela Grad explores the life of the late
Afghan leader, Ahmad Shah Massoud, through personal stories told to
her by those who accompanied Massoud during his struggle to
liberate Afghanistan from the Soviet invasion and the Taliban, and
by others from around the world who knew and helped Massoud. Ahmad
Shah Massoud was assassinated by Al Qaeda suicide bombers posing as
journalists just two days before the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It is
widely believed that Massoud was killed to help pave the way for
9/11. Today, Massoud is considered the national hero of Afghanistan
and the September 9th anniversary of his death is a national
holiday there. Grad spent over four years interviewing a diverse
group of Afghans who were commanders, members of the mujahideen,
personal secretaries, envoys, women of the resistance, and members
of Massoud's family.
