Correspondent Ahmed Rashid brings the shadowy world of the
Taliban—the world’s most extreme and radical Islamic
organization—into sharp focus in this enormously insightful
book. He offers the only authoritative account of the
Taliban available to English-language readers, explaining
the Taliban’s rise to power, its impact on Afghanistan and
the region, its role in oil and gas company decisions, and
the effects of changing American attitudes toward the
Taliban. He also describes the new face of Islamic
fundamentalism and explains why Afghanistan has become the
world center for international terrorism.
