Not just the men of beards and guns - By: , 30 Dec 2002
This is a fantastic & very readable book that I devoured in almost 1 sitting.

Christina clearly loves the country & its people & is very knowledgeable about historical factors that have lead to the current situation in Afghanistan. But most of alll the book brings the people behind the beards to life. The personal suffering & real horror of the past 27 years is played out of every page but set in the backdrop of thousands of years of history & culture & written so well that it is hard not to turn the next page.

This is a must read book & the best I have read this year.
