About this title: Going beyond the stereotypes of Kalashnikov-wielding Afghan mujahideen and black-turbaned Taliban fundamentalists, Larry Goodson explains in this concise analysis of the Afghan war what has really been happening in Afghanistan in the last twenty years. Beginning with the reasons behind Afghanistan's inability to forge a strong state - its myriad cleavages along ethnic, religious, social, and geographical fault lines - Goodson then examines the devastating course of the war itself.

"I read this when it first came out--- the autumn of 2001, with the war against the Taliban and the US invasion of Afghanistan still in its early days. I'd seen Larry Goodson on a panel on C-Span 2 and been impressed by his knowledge.
"Afghanistan's Endless War" is a well-done account of Afghan history and politics between the end of the old monarchy and the seizure of power by the Taliban. It's especially good on the whole 1992-98 period, the era of warlords and anarchy, the era that made the Taliban seem like a force for stability to many Afghans and allowed Pakistan to see the Taliban as its tool for dominating the country.
