To be read by the pentagon
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Read this book when it first came out and referred to it after 9/11. Answers the question on why Bin Laden is still at large. Should be required reading by every field officer in Afghanistan. Book is well written with political as well as tactical events that shaped the British trials for over 100 years in the Northwest Frontier. A great read that speaks to todays events.
Terrific history!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is the very best sort of popular history, colorful, well-written, and unencumbered by massive footnotes. Evenbetter, it resonates with our new interests in Afghanistanand Pakistan, indeed the entire Northwest Frontier area.An updated edition should include the Soviet debacle, therise and destruction of the Taliban, and the Americanpresence in Afghanistan. But read it anyway if you are fortunate enough to find a copy!
