“The authors' fieldwork experience in the region allows us to
receive this unique insider account of today's Afghanistan: a child
who must provide for an entire family, a Soviet army defector, a
Taliban militiaman's change of heart. The book summons a picture of
Afghanistan that one cannot get from afar.” –Nader Entessar,
Library Journal
“A beautiful, moving, and haunting tapestry of individual lives in
war-torn Afghanistan … This is a must read for anyone who cares
about and wants to grasp present-day Afghanistan.” –Haleh
Esfandiari, Director, Middle East Program, Woodrow Wilson
