This book provides another perspective on the region and the forces at play that led to the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan. While clearly written from a Taliban insider, with his own associated bias, it does encourage the reader to question and examine their own perspective on Afghanistan against the people who live there and those offered by the western culture and media. A military maxim is to know your enemy as well as yourself, and this writing by Zaeef does a good job of understanding the Taliban motives and world-view.Written in a clear, practical and straightforward style, devoid of excessive diplomatic or political science jargon, I found this book difficult to put down. I would recommend it as a good primer for anyone interested in the history of the region or the present state of affairs in Afghanistan. After you read this book you will understand better why a western model of government and democracy in the region is not likely to take hold ... ever.
Anyone who wants to understand how the Taliban was created and came to be such dedicated fighters needs to read this book. Zaeef was there at the beginning and helped create the Taliban in response to the Russian and Communist take over of Afghanistan. He was a foot soldier who became a leader of the movement. If you want to know who what when and why of the Taliban, this is an essential read.
I might have gotten more out of this book but I got the feeling that the author was just adding fluff to propaganda. There were some rather interesting parts to the book and maybe I should have given him some more credit. But having the afore mentioned feeling I marked him down while still giving him a good deal of credit for his details on some of the inner working of the Taliban.
This is a decent book if you are a student of Afghanistan's history and want to dig deep into some of the cultural norms of Southern Pashtuns. Zaeef is somewhat of a moderate in the Taliban, which means instead of having the perspective of a person from the 7th century he has the perspective of someone from the 12th century. His views towards Afghanistan's future, the legitimacy of the Taliban, and the role of the international community are definitely those of a typical backwards thinking, repressive Islamist. Still, the book is interesting for the perspective and as a glimpse into the mind of a former Taliban minister.
This book offers insights from a perspective that Westerners seldom see, that of a man who was born into war and later helped form the Taliban. Though Saeef offers insights into the birth, history and (selected) inner workings of the Taliban, most of his "facts" should be cross-checked by anyone interested in accuracy. Zaeef has written a self-serving piece of propaganda, as well as a valuable look into the mind of a religious zeolot. As a student of Afghan history, I am particularly vexed by what he does NOT report, especially his treatment of the Northern Alliance, Ahmad Shah Massoud and other mujahideen prior to and after 9/11, and his hypocritical critcisms of the US, Pakistan, and anyone else who does not buy his narrow view of the world. Good to read for its view into the mind of a fanatic, but take it with a heaping table-spoon of salt. Having said that, we should also read our own press releases and books by our own warriors with a similar dose of caution and skepticism.
Excellent book.. Would recommend reading it lots of history told by a person who saw it all and lived to tell the story...
While this is an interesting read I would caution readers from accepting it as objective truth. Not only does the author view the Taliban movement through rose tinted spectacles, which I suppose is a given, but he goes further than that and distorts history to present the Taliban in a more favorable light.One of the more glaring omissions in the book can be found (or not found)in the chapter entitled "The Beginning" where at the end of the chapter the author claims the Taliban were attacked by Ishmael Khan, the Governor of Herat Province and defacto ruler of the west.In fact the Taliban were urged to attack Herat by the Pakistani trucking mafia out of Quetta who resented the duties that IK was charging them to bring in goods from Iran. So in May of 1995 the Taliban launched a major assault on Herat only to be defeated with the loss of some 3000 men. Their most costly defeat up to that point.As they withdrew south to Kandahar in what was a disastrous rout 100s of their casualties died from lack of basic medical cover and even from lack of water as the Taliban's inability to supply and equip its men took its toll in the deserts of southern Afghanistan.My point; if the author is not able to cover this at all and omits it completely then what else is he distorting or not telling the truth about?So, as I said an interesting read but hardly a real history of the movement.The two editors, Linschoten and Kuehn have been gulled by a very credible snake oil salesman.
Autobiography of an Afghan born in Kandahar in the 60s. Revelatory for theperspective on the events of the last 30 years.
