Summary
Ahmen Rashid: Taliban: Islam, Oil and the New Great Game in Central Asia
The tragic events of 9/11 brought the Taliban into focus as the most extreme and extreme Islamic movement in the world, but little is still known about them due to the deep secrecy that has always surrounded their organization and leadership. Ahmed Rashid, who has been covering Afghanistan since 1979, is one of the few international journalists to have interviewed the Taliban leadership. His book "Taliban" has been translated into over 20 languages. In this revised edition, Rashid expanded his account to describe the defeat of the Taliban government and their resort to guerrilla warfare in the eastern mountains of Afghanistan. He examines the bewildering complexities of Afghan politics as Western nations and companies compete to build oil and gas pipelines to Western and Asian markets.
