Download An Intimate War Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
An Intimate War tells the story of the last thirty-four years of conflict in Helmand Province, Afghani- stan as seen through the eyes of the Helmandis. In the West, this period is often defined through different lenses - the Soviet intervention, the civil war, the Taliban, and the post-2001 nation-building era. Yet, as experienced by local inhabitants, the Helmand conflict is a perennial one, involving the same individuals, families and groups, and driven by the same arguments over land, water and power. This book - based on both military and re- search experience in Helmand and 150 inter- views in Pashto - offers a very different view of Helmand from those in the media. It demonstrates how outsiders have most often misunderstood the ongoing struggle in Helmand and how, in doing so, they have exacerbated the conflict, perpetuated it and made it more violent - precisely the opposite of what was intended when their interventions were launched. Mike Martin's oral history of Helmand under- scores the absolute imperative of understanding the highly local, personal, and non-ideological nature of internal conflict in much of the 'third' world.

Download Beyond the Wild Tribes Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
International and nongovernmental organizations, as well as journalists, are excellent sources of information on contemporary Afghanistan. Unfortunately, their expertise often goes untapped by those who hope to better understand the country's complexity. Beyond the 'Wild Tribes'draws on these perspectives to build a comprehensive portrait of Afghanistan and its widely dispersed peoples and cultures. Contributors cull a wealth of research, effectively collapsing the myths and stereotypes perpetuated by nineteenth- and twentieth-century European texts. Their wide-ranging essays address everything from the causes of the country's protracted conflicts to the nature and future of its musical traditions. Anyone hoping for an intimate, engaging, and uncommon encounter with an increasingly visible nation will relish the insight of this expertly crafted collection.

Announcements of an impending victory over the Taliban have been repeated ad nauseam since the Allied invasion of Afghanistan in 2002, particularly after the Presidential elections of 2004, which were said to have marked the "moral and psychological defeat of the Taliban". In moments of triumphalism, some commentators claimed that "reconstruction and development" had won over the population, despite much criticism of the meagre distribution of aid, the lack of "nation-building" and corruption among Kabul's élite. In March 2006, both Afghan and American officials were still claiming, just before a series of particularly ferocious clashes, that "the Taliban are no longer able to fight large battles". Later that year, the mood in the mass media had turned to one of defeatism, even of impending catastrophe. In reality, as early as 2003-5 there was a growing body of evidence that cast doubt on the official interpretation of the conflict. Rather than there having been a "2006 surprise", Giustozzi argues that the Neo-Taliban insurgency had put down strong roots in Afghanistan as early as 2003, a phenomenon he investigates in this timely and thought-provoking book.
