The Rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan: Mass Mobilization, Civil War, and the Future of the Region de N. Nojumi

The Rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan: Mass Mobilization, Civil War, and the Future of the Region

Autor N. Nojumi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 ian 2002
This book describes the turbulent political history of Afghanistan from the communist upheaval of the 1970s through to the aftermath of the events of 11 September 2001. It reviews the importance of the region to external powers and explains why warfare and instability have been endemic. The author analyses in detail the birth of the Taliban and the bloody rise to power of fanatic Islamists, including Osama bin Laden, in the power vacuum following the withdrawal of US aid. Looking forward, Nojumi explores the ongoing quest for a third political movement in Afghanistan - an alternative to radical communists or fanatical Islamists and suggests the support that will be neccessary from the international community in order for such a movement to survive.
