"The first hand account of the Taliban regime and US invasion of Afghanistan, and the terror wrought by both, will put any best-selling thriller novel to shame."
"I have read a fair number of books on Afghanistan and no other has been more concise and clear in laying out all the key events and the rationale behind them in this nation's history. Ms. Gannon proves to be a gifted writer and an expert on this subject having spent 18 years in Afghanistan working for the AP. If you want to understand Afghanistan -- its people, its politics & its history -- read this book. If you want to see an Afghanistan ravaged by war, betrayal, inaction & being taken advantage of again and again read this book. If you want to see the hatred that has found a home in Afghanistan read this book. If you want to have a glimpse of the average Aghan's life read this book. If you want to understand more about a nation we are at war with (and you should) read this book. Get the picture? Read this book!"
