Title: Worth reading and then reading again!
Product review: This book is an excellent overview of how Afghanistan became a cesspool of drug trafficking, militant Islam, and terrorism. Reading it leaves me with a sense of anger that the world allowed the situation there to degenerate to the point where the United States is now engaged in a war in Afghanistan against a Saudi megalomaniac who thinks he's a modern day version of Saladin (note: the real Saladin displayed chivalry to his enemies but not Usama Bin Laden).I say this book is worth reading again because the situation in Afghanistan and the Central Asian region is so complex, so bewildering that despite the author's extremely lucid and "reader friendly" prose, it is difficult to grasp all at once. I commend him for producing such a magnificent book.
