Title: A Fundamental Book on Fundamental People
Product review: Ahmed Rashid is an excellent author and journalist who has written a fine study on a complex and important subject. His historical narrative is fluent and thus, makes us want to turn the pages. Rashid details the events leading up to the rise of the Taliban and through (to the time it was originally published) it's hardships. We get an interesting perspective on the common Afghan and a look into many revealing anecdotes practically unheard of by the western world, many of which regard terrorism. Mr. Rashid's book is informative and fascinating. He is an excellent writer who is able to give us the "definitive" low-down on the subject. This work is very important to today's western society and this is evident through the analitical work dispersed throughout. Ahmed has been a Pakistani journalist for over twenty-years and has proven that he is an expert on Middle Eastern Studies and History.
