I found this book to be an excellent source for an overview of Afghanistan's history and development as the country it is today. The book covers the complete history of Afghanistan and touches upon the important historical formation of the country and describes the influences of such leaders as Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan. This is an excellent source for the information provided about these leaders and their experiences as rulers in this region.



The later half of the book examines the 20th Century events and forces that influenced the politics of the United States throughout multiple presidencies, including the Soviet Invasion, the rise of the Taliban, and the circumstances facing Afghanistan today. This is a great read to reveal the hidden side of Afghanistan through a chronological narrative of the country, and a complete examination of Afghanistan's history from pre civilization to present day.
