Title: Intellectual, thrilling!
Product review: Winter in Kandahar is a sublime novel of international intrigue, spanning not only modern global technology, but also delving into the dark, rich history and culture of a little-known area of the world, Afghanistan. Compelling and currently relevant, the theme of possible bioterrorism grips the reader in a page-turning, fast-paced race through South Asia, Europe, the United States, and Canada.As if this were not enough, Wilson lavishes upon the reader a portrayal of Afghan culture so rich in detail that one can almost taste the flat bread and feel the humility of the women, shrouded as they are in their burqas.Most interesting, however, given current political maneuvers, is Wilson's elucidation of the troubled history of the region, which has been at war, either from outside invaders or from internal intertribal warfare, for centuries. Such historical conflict provides a dramatic backdrop for a modern spy novel.A must read!!
