Negative Positive
Title: A fascinating and tremendously important perspective
Review: Christopher Kremmer was a journalist in the 1990's in Afghanistan and across Central Asia. This book is an account of his travels in the region during a period when momentous events were commonplace. His uncensored accounts of the happenings of that time related via moving and personal anecdotes of real people experiencing them bring the Islamic world in all its extraordinary beauty and violence to print in a way that is rare. This book is a vivid depiction of the human condition. On the brink of the abyss of horror he also finds hope and dreams. This is about the power of individuals to endure. Kremmer has a journalist's gift for making situations that most of us can barely even imagine come to life. The newspaper 'The Age' wrote "If you read no other non-fiction book post-September 11, don't miss this one". I wholeheartedly agree.
