- Synopsis
- A new, revised edition of the universally acclaimed and best-selling account of the Islamic fundamentalist Taliban movement - the most radical and extreme Islamic movement the world has seen. '[An] excellent study which . . . has now sold more than 750,000 copies in [22] languages.' - Financial Times 'It took our political classes an unconscionable time to wake up to the importance of Ahmed Rashid's definitive study of the Taliban. The book has been a phenomenal success.' - The Independent 'Read this remarkable book and the bewildering complexity of Afghan politics and the deadly over-spill of chaos, narcotics and sectarian violence into the surrounding region will become clear.' - Sunday Times 'Ahmed Rashid's book describes the stuff that Bond [films] are made of. Warring tribes, clashing empires, fanatics with dreams of world domination, violence and sex . . . If anyone understands the place Rashid does.' - The Observer 'The book they are all reading.' - The Guardian
