Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The sequel to Barnett S. Rubin's The Fragmentation of Afghanistan, this volume relates the more recent history of a country that has been ruined in a proxy Cold War struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union, then summarily abandoned to a violent anarchy fueled by outside money and weapons. Rubin, who worked as a human rights monitor in the region, details how Afghanistan moved from being a nonaligned buffer state between the superpowers, to being the meat in their sandwich. His perceptive analysis is essential background for anyone concerned with pursuing peace in Afghanistan.
The New York Times Book Review, Karl E. Meyer
Mr. Rubin remarks that if the United States and its allies won the cold war, no ally paid more for this goal than the people of Afghanistan.
