Description

In this monumental, authoritative new history of Afghanistan, Jonathan L.

Lee places the current con?ict in its historical context and challenges many of the West’s preconceived ideas about the country.

Lee chronicles the region’s monarchic rules and the Durrani dynasty, focusing on the reigns of each ruler and their efforts to balance tribal, ethnic, regional and religious factions, moving on to the struggle for social and constitutional reform and the rise of Islamic and Communist factions.

He offers new cultural and political insights from Persian histories, the memoirs of Afghan government of?cials, British government and India Of?ce archives, recently released CIA reports and WikiLeaks documents.

Lee also sheds new light on the country’s foreign relations, its internal power struggles and the impact of foreign military interventions such as the ‘War on Terror’.
