Produktbeschreibung

The Afghan crisis has grabbed the attention of the entire world, and underlined the desperate need in the West for a better understanding of the region and its challenges in the face of increasingly militant interpretations of Islam. Covering Afghanistan and the Islamic crescent of ex-Soviet republics - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan - Martin McCauley draws on his vast knowledge of the region to provide a clear introduction to its history and its people.

Rezensionen

`Martin McCauley is the TV presenter's dream come true. A man who, be it late at night or the crack of dawn, can walk into a studio and talk with authority, conviction and not a little passion, about almost any aspect of international affairs. What is more, he does it in words of two syllables than even people in my trade understand. A talent which I feel sure will leap from every page of this study of Afghanistan.'

John Stapleton, Presenter, GMTV
